Sorry, I could have explained that better. For the last couple of years, one of the teams in Baton Rouge has hosted an off-season event called the "Redstcik Rumble". It's a combined FRC & FTC scrimmage (using the previous season's games), and an FLL workshop. This year's event just happened to fall on FTC kick-off, so having a bunch of LA/MS teams together for that will be a bonus.
Normally rookie teams don't participate, however, since we've been planning the move up to FTC since last season the team decided they'd like to try it.
Good news (since my last post) in that the kids got their "legacy" motors running by splitting out the encoder leads and just using the power leads in a "dumb" motor (my term) config. No telemetry and obviously no autonomous, but at least they have a robot they can drive in the event.
