Our team had a great time at Ramp Riot last weekend and we're excited Miss Daisy is making a return to BE!


We have 29 teams confirmed to attend Brunswick Eruption this Saturday.

I have attached the Brunswick Eruption 11 Team Information Packet, which was sent to all team contacts in an e-mail blast this afternoon. It contains reminders of items to bring, what to do upon arrival, the event schedule, and other highlights.

A webcast of the event will be available at: http://be.raiderrobotix.org/webcast.html

We have created a mobile web app for smartphones, which will be updated throughout the event: http://be.raiderrobotix.org/mobile.html

Match scores will also be tweeted live from @BrunsEruption in the same format used by @FRCFMS with the hashtag #FRCBE.

Finally, as a reminder, we will be hosting a food drive to benefit the North Brunswick Food Bank, as well as a shoe drive to recycle any old or unwanted footwear. Any donations to either drive would be greatly appreciated and the teams that donate the most to each will receive special tiki trophies.

See you on Saturday!

1640 is very sorry that we won't be able to attend BE. We were only recently able to get into our shop after some serious damage at Ramp Riot, and it turns out we're beyond repair (both money and shop time) to be ready for Brunswick. We'd be limping around on 1-2 swerve wheels.

We'll sure miss everyone! It's a sad surprise end to our (really great) season. I'll still be there with my ref hat on, hopefully with a few volunteers but we also have to fix the bot for some upcoming demos. (Feels like build season already...) We've definitely learn a lot about designing for 100+ matches. We'll be ready for 2013!

Definitely. We're starting to run low on critical spare parts as well - winning Brunswick Eruption will be as much about "who's left" as "who's best".

Here's the pit layout for the event. See you all tomorrow!

I'm gonna be rooting for a small team from Hamilton, NJ - 2495

These guys spent their time after Duel on the Delaware tuning their shooter and creating a new drop down intake.

Please go check them out tomorrow! They have great bridge handling and balancing skills and a shooter that is pretty consistent from the key.

^ New mods. You can sort of make out the clear polycord on the front roller.

A pre-rookie team, St Huberts High School, will be competing at Brunswick tomorrow with our mini-robot (It competed at Ramp Riot as 2606).

Make sure you give them a nice welcome!

Much better shot, if you ask me

Yeah it's good for me now.

We unfortunately don't have an archive of the webcast—it's something we'll work on having for next year's event. If any teams have match videos, let us know and we'll compile them into a single playlist.

I'll do a longer write up/thank you post soon.
