As I suspected a couple of numbers were transposed, 1073 is signed up not 1037.
Here's the latest update sent out by Ed Forcier.
RIVER RAGE UPDATE
It’s almost time for River Rage 9. Here’s an update of where we’re at.
Some of you haven’t sent your entry fee. Please bring it with you on Saturday. Also, if you haven’t received driving directions, please email me so I can send them to you.
Practice starts at 8AM or so. Opening ceremonies are at 9AM.
We have 23 teams signed up. We’d like 24 teams. (Evens out the match schedule) If you want to bring a second ‘bot, you can enter two teams for the price of one. Such a deal. First one to let me know is in. The second one to let me know will receive the same deal if a team doesn’t show and they play in their place.
Bring extension cords, power strips and safety glasses.
Remember, we are on a BRAND NEW gym floor. So, be nice to it. That means no food or drink in the gym.
Now, for the House Rules
• All FIRST rules for the 2005 game will be followed, with the following exceptions.
• Thirty (30) point penalties will only be assessed for safety concerns. These would normally only be appropriate for obstruction of a robot while in the process of loading at the human player station when the human player is off the pad.
• Robots that are within their end zone at the end of the match will be awarded points as follows: 1 point for a single robot, 3 points for two robots and 10 points for three robots.
• Teams cannot select their elimination round partners from the top eight seeded teams. You must select outside the eight.
• Referees will award the best robot costume and best team costume. After all, it is almost Halloween.
