In Reply to: No Longer a Rumor - Rumble will rock this summer!! posted by BostonFIRST on 6/11/2000 9:25 PM MST:
: don't be fooled.. the rumors were true.. after a little work.. BostonFIRST will be holding it's first production mid-august..
: However, Rumble 2000 will be Rumbling Somewhere Else.. in Clinton Massachusetts (FYI - event has NOTHING to do with team 126.. this is BostonFIRST).. same traditions.. with a dash of new taste and some unique twists.. adding a little fun to late summer..
: Unfortunately.. due to location.. teams 71, 188, and 192 were not able to be invited back... but their names are atop our list if some of the closer teams were to decline..
: Also- we need a little help.. we can't contact teams 155, 173, 177, 178, and 222. Anyone on those teams or knows someone on them.. please let us know as soon as you can!!
: We look forward to seeing everyone at Rumble.. and hope your teams can come, or you guys personally to watch (or help!)..
: check out
www.bostonfirst.org for the latest and greatest details..

: Following is the email sent to invited teams:
: ----------------
: Hey FIRSTers...
: Something awesome is happening Friday and Saturday August 11th and 12th..
: and you and your team are invited to attend..
: Rumble 2000 will take place at St. John's Gym in Clinton Massachusetts and
: we are looking forward to seeing you there.
: As the attached invite and letter describe, we're looking to host 2-days of
: summer, robot fun this August in the absence of the typical 'Rumble at the
: Rock' held in Plymouth. The same teams are invited and the same rules
: apply: no 'official' registration fee and the games will be funded by the
: registration donations made by the participating teams.
: We know the invitation comes late, but we've been working hard to make this
: thing happen.. the only thing left is the support of your wonderful teams in
: coming to this competition. The August date was chosen for ease in
: planning, and in hopes that teams would have a little rest from these early
: summer competitions (many of you we know did/will attend Mayhem, Battlecry,
: BOMB, IRI, WMRC..). Plus, it's one last chance before the seniors leave to
: give the robots a whirl.. and it's a way to kick off the FIRST spirit for
: the new school year..
: And seeing as how it's only 2-months away(!), we'll need to hear back from
: you as soon as possible. If you are not the decision maker/team leader for
: your team, please promptly bring the information to their attention so we
: can get a quick response. If you aren't even associated with a team
: anymore, we embarassingly made a mistake and would simply appreciate a
: response saying so :-)
: For those of you whose answer will be 'Yes, let's have a blast..' just drop
: a line back here saying so and visit
www.bostonfirst.org to fill out your
: official registration form.
: If your answer will sadly be 'No, we cannot attend', please respond back
: here as soon as possible so that we may send invitations to awaiting teams
: and visit
www.bostonfirst.org can it's a fun place to go to.. and we'll
: still love your team anyway...
: we look forward to hearing back from everyone!! let's have a blast this
: rumble!!
