(that we get so many applicants to we actually have to turn people away...) And work with three FIRST programs (FLL, FTC, FRC, plus additional competitive robotics programs in other countries)? And give tons of scholarships? And have a SWEET VAN? Nope, that's all Clarkson. ![]() (Disclaimer: I'm only jesting. Yes, I love Clarkson, but that's because I go there. I'm sure any school anyone might personally decide on will be great- I just love how big a part FIRST plays in the Clarkson culture. ) |

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
It's shared among FIRST efforts, our work with the school districts, and our (new!) Traveling Museum - but I'll see if we can get it.

RIT has some amazing programs, clubs/organizations, and overall opportunities. Don't let either of our opinions sway you either way. Choose the school that you like best, even if it's neither of them. Take tours of all of them, do research online, ask current students what their opinions are(yes, I know I'm contradicting myself there... but we both obviously love our schools so it's ok), and definitely make sure to talk to the departments that house your anticipated major. Talk to the advisor(s) if you can and get a feel for how that college/major will help you in your future career goals, and in your life as a whole. And on top of all else, stay involved with what you love! Obviously I'm talking about FIRST, but it applies to everything else in life as well. |

Soon to come the decisions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If we get 32 teams at the ruckus can we do backups like IRI? |

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
I was just wondering for backups so none of the teams feel left out
Travis do you mean full IRI rules including the no co-op? I don't know if the ruckus teams are going to be able to triple like a lot of teams at IRI did. I think only 3 teams have balancing aids 610,48,340. But only 610 used it in competition if im not mistaken. |

If I had a say, I'd want to see stock Rebound Rumble. Many robots are tired and plenty of drive teams are going to be new and/or rusty. I really don't look forward to random combinations of that reality attempting to triple in quals. Six year olds playing soccer comes to mind, as does the "agony of defeat" ski jumper. Also, as many of the students we would be bringing would be brand new, I'd like to show them a game with the original FRC-intent elements in place, and that includes the coopertition element. You can be certain it will be a part of future FRC games - get them used to the concept now. Didn't need to in the match we tripled with 469 and 4334. Barely had to overhang. Didn't/couldn't attempt any triples in other matches. Last edited by Travis Hoffman : 30-07-2012 at 04:19. |

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
We're not sure how much additional functionality we'll have at the Ruckus -- we have no shop for the summer due to the capital project (they literally knocked down the tech rooms and are rebuilding from scratch), and may not have a shop before the Ruckus at all!
So hopefully we'll have a re-vamped shooter and a stinger, but we might not... |

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
I think IRI rules could happen, though I'd much prefer regular rules.
