2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus

Hello Everyone!

The Ruckus Planning Committee is pleased to announce that the 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus will be held on Saturday, October 27th from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. This year, we are proud to announce that we have expanded to the 25,000 square foot Dome Arena in Henrietta! The new venue is bigger, provides more seating, has many hotels and food options nearby and is easily accessible from the NYS Thruway! Team registration is now open, and we hope that your team can come! Ruckus is a great time to train new members of the team before the new season starts and offers a fun atmosphere with less of the stress of a regional competition! The registration fee is $100 (which is way cheaper than many other off-season events), and as always, 2013 pre-rookies can compete for free (the committee will make sure you have a robot to compete with if you would like).

We are really excited to grow our event, and look forward to bringing you an even better Ruckus! We are planning lots of exciting activities including the annual "Pie-in-the-Eye." Moving into a bigger and better venue will allow us to expand our event and provide a better experience for everyone! Event schedule, rule changes, volunteer registration and some fun events are still being worked on, but we will be sure to keep everyone updated!

The event website can be found at www.ruckus.penfieldrobotics.com
The event Facebook page can be found at http://www.facebook.com/rahchacharuckus ("Like" the page for the updates and information!)

We hope to see you there!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus

I'll throw in a bit of a shameless plug for Ruckus. The Rah Cha Cha Ruckus is an absolutely fantastic event. It may not be a major off-season competition like IRI or MARC, but it's always a fantastically competitive event, and it always a lot of fun. It's a one day event, and the environment is extremely relaxed. It really is as much of a Robotics Halloween Party as a competition.

In the past, Ruckus has drawn the attention of a lot of high-profile teams. It usually contains the local power teams, like 1126, 191, 229, 1559, 1507 and many others. However, in the past years, we've also seen attendance from major out-of-state teams like 188, 610 and 48. By attending, you'll be going to compete against some very strong teams who you can learn a lot from!

It's an amazing opportunity, all for $100, and though the venue in the past has been a little tight, now that it's moving to The Dome Arena, it's going to be able to accommodate an off-season on the rise! I'm extremely excited for The Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!

2791 will be there. We're technically not "out of state" but we haven't been up in the Rochester area since our rookie year. See you there!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus

Two questions

1.) Since its a bigger venue will more teams be attending?

2.) Does anyone have the match footage from last year? I never could find it.

Im looking forward to this and its still months away
Here is a video of the dome for teams who are curious of how big it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovoDgKpR-Aw

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus

If all of the regulars show up, this may be one of the most intense Ruckuses yet.

Here is a video of the dome for teams who are curious of how big it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovoDgKpR-Aw
1) We are hoping that expanding into the dome will draw in some more teams and make Ruckus even more exciting! We are also working on some really cool things that the larger venue will allow,whereas we did not have the space in Webster.

2) I don't know. Sorry.

3)The dome video is awesome! There is also a link in the original post that brings you to the floor plan. The video linked to (to those that don't know) is of the Rochester Rampage, an event where many local teams can show off their robots at the Monroe County Fair on a full field.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus

6 teams have already registered for the Rah Cha Cha Ruckus! Delphi ELITE - 48, Blizzard - 188, X-Cats - 191, RoboCats - 379, Rolling Thunder - 1511, and Shaker Robotics - 2791! An excellent first six teams for The Ruckus! Who will join these six great teams?!

Did they go through the actual website registration process? No? Then nyahhh. Besides, Kristen Gerstung told me we were first. Who am I to argue with her?
