2168 Also has had a functioning stinger/peg leg since the CT regional, and we are looking forward to making the trip up north. I haven't been to Ruckus since 2009 when I was a mentor for 229.

I'll do my best to convince the team to costume up for it.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus

I'd be fine with IRI rules. This has nothing to do with being a wide robot at all. Nope.

Glad to see our friends 2168 attending.

I like what I see.

Also, I would say that the top four seeds can't pick each other is a good rule to continue for a small event, and 1-8-1-8 alliance selections work in that scenario. But maybe all of those rules PLUS IRI rules might be too much.

One last question, when is the last day to sign up for Ruckus? I'm gonna make one more plee to 174 and giving them a final day might help planning and their decision.

Well, hey - if you'd like some tips and tricks... send me a PM. FIRST involvement is something we all should have.

Sorry for the offtopic post
Great to know you're considering both! I hope you'll come up to Clarkson during the school year - we happily give any FIRSTer a tour of all of our robotics outreach programs and facilities, including the dorm. If you've got any questions, feel free to PM me.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus

Hey,

Will there be wifi at the dome? I wanted to tryout some different scouting techniques for our team.

I didn't get to go to the rally this year so I don't know if there is wifi...

Hmmm, mentor rounds eh? That would be fun. Remind me to steal Travis' GoPro and put it in front of him while he drives.

I miss being behind the glass... wonder if the team would let me have a go.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus

The mentor matches at Beantown Blitz this year were awesome, however due to time constants each team only got one match.

What is the proposed structure for these matches anyways?

We haven't officially committed to any mentor matches yet. We need to clear it with the committee to see if we have time to do said matches first.

I would love mentor matches. I don't know if my new team would allow me to be in one but it would be awesome to watch.

Garrick sums up the rules situation quite well. To reiterate, major changes outside alliance pairings and tournament play format are pretty much finalized.

Comments on the alliance selection process are being read and of course being considered. As those who have come in the past to Ruckus know, we strive above all to make this an event that is fun for all attending teams (while still balancing that with the competitive nature of the game!).
One of the committee members will be sure to post here (as well as sending email to registered team contacts) once we finalize alliance selection (please note too that it is a distinct possibility that this will just be "no change" to the process from the FIRST rules).

The situation this year is quite a bit different than years past considering the growth in the number of teams that will be competing.

Registration for teams does not typically close until about a week or two before the event. However, we're carefully watching registrations to make sure we don't outgrow the venue or have to resort to uncomfortable squishing of team pits. So for teams out there considering coming please do consider registering sooner rather than later

Note that payment is not due/expected until the actual day of the event so please do not let that alone delay your team.

Please note: Volunteer registration will likely close much earlier than the timeline given above for team registration - if you want to volunteer please register as soon as you can!! We appreciate the assistance of all our volunteers!

I don't have a certain answer for this at this time, however I would not plan on having this available. We'd love to be able to provide this, but we may not have the resources to do so.

Teams setting up their own access points will not be allowed; pit operation of robots will be "tether" only as traditional at FIRST events. This is quite simply to preserve the reliability of field operation.

Me too! We hope to have more to share on extra events "soon", including possibly mentor matches, pie in the eye, etc. and also our charity drive. Stay tuned!
