Hi everyone,

We have some exciting BE updates!

For starters, the Brunswick Eruption website has received a new look. Check it out at http://be.raiderrobotix.org/.

Next, volunteer sign-ups are starting to trickle in. If you’re interested in joining our team, fill out the volunteer form on the website. Some available positions include referees, queuing, field reset, photographers, field set-up/take-down, and much more. The form is short and open-ended, so let us know how you would like to help!

BE is filling up quickly. As of today, we have 22 registered teams:

25 Raider Robotix
222 Tigertrons
224 The Tribe
271 Mechanical Marauders
303 TEST Team
341 Miss Daisy

An updated team list is being actively maintained on our Event Info page. If you’ve already registered and don’t see your team listed within 1-2 business days, please send me a PM here or contact us via e-mail.

Finally, please “Like” the event on Facebook and follow @BrunsEruption on Twitter! Let us know what you would like to see at BE this year. Have a rule change suggestion? Idea for a workshop? We want to hear it!

Hey, everyone! We are now up to 27 teams registered which means things are filling up really quickly considering we are still ~4.5 months from the event. This, of course, means two things:

1. Register now to guarantee you'll have your spot! Don't worry about payment right away--as Mr. Cokeley mentioned in his above post, we will take care of all that when school restarts in the fall.
2. With this year looking like we will reach our cap of 40 teams, we need all the volunteers we can get! Register to volunteer to get on board!

Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on twitter to stay up to date with all the other exciting news as plans are finalized. We are currently working on coming up with some fun rule changes, planning some workshops, and, of course, formulating this year's Evil Sundae recipe.

Mahalo!

Hi Brandon,

There are still 7 spots left. We currently have 33 teams registered and are hoping to reach our maximum capacity of 40 teams in the fall. We would love to have 2495 come play with us!

[Kristian Calhoun]

Attention teams,

Today registration for Brunswick Eruption 11 reached a record 39 teams!

Since school has just started, we have decided to close open veteran team registration at this time. We will be reserving the remaining 3 spots for potential pre-rookie teams. Veteran teams are encouraged to continue to register online through the event website and those who do will be placed on a waiting list. As we near closer to the event, if any spots become available, we will invite teams from the waitlist to attend BE on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additionally, an e-mail blast will be sent to the list of currently registered teams, as well as our mailing list, in the near future.

Thank you for your cooperation and for making this the largest Brunswick Eruption yet!

Team 2607 is ready to rumble! (Rebound Rumble, that is )

[Billfred]

Glad to see BE is kicking butt! Hopefully someday I'll get back up there, with team or with self.

[Akash Rastogi]

3929 is excite.

[Wayne C.]

So far we have only heard from about 30 percent of our teams regarding attending the new date of Nov 17th. I know many of the teams are still in the dark or haven't been to their schools yet.

We need to know who will attend and who wont so we can plan and rent tables, etc..

PLEASE let us know ASAP.

The event will go on- if it doesn't kill us first!!

Wayne,

I don't know if Scott contacted you yet, but 222 will be unable to attended due to our annual fundraising event which is scheduled for the 17th.

We decided it would be too difficult to bring a skeleton crew as the fundraiser requires the majority of our small team to run.

222 hopes everyone is recovering quickly from Sandy's east coast destruction.

[Kristian Calhoun]

Thanks to all the teams who have replied so far. We're currently up to 22 confirmed attending teams: http://be.raiderrobotix.org/teams.html

We are still waiting to hear back from the following teams:
369
395
1302
1807
2458
3607
3167
3637

Additionally, we have extended the deadline for Mike Wade Memorial Award submissions to Wednesday, November 14th. Nominations can be submitted at http://be.raiderrobotix.org/mikewade.html.

Again, thanks everyone for your continued support of Brunswick Eruption. We hope to see you at BE on the 17th (or at Ramp Riot tomorrow)!

[OZ_341]

Team 341 is really looking forward to playing at BE on Saturday!
Last chance to "Rebound Rumble".
