Re: 2016 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
I dont think Ruckus has ever had a problem with attendance. It's been around 40 teams each year,. Considering the quality of the event, I'd be shocked if that changes anytime soon.

Re: Best FRC moments ever

Re: FRC to be at the 2020 Olympics?
When a highschool sports team watches their world finals (ie. teams composed of the best possible members and trained to perform), does it serve as a detriment or an inspiration? I'm inclined to...

Re: 2016 IRI Invitations -

With all due respect, if you've lost interest at a regional after an hour because of the game alone, then you've missed out on the other 90% of a FIRST Robotics Competition event. I think the fact...

Re: 2016 World High Score
I'd just like to point out that the 194 was WITHOUT fouls, and no alliance member had a climb. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that alliance had what I believe was the most powerful high goal...

Re: Team 111 - WildStang 2016
Fantastic robot! I'm excited to see Wildstang as strong as ever.
