2014 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus

[GCentola]

Hi everyone!

It’s now October, which means Ruckus is getting closer and closer! We are getting very excited for our 10th year and looking forward to an awesome competition. Just a few updates!
October 3rd: This date is pretty important! Registration fees are due at this point. If you have not paid or have not made arrangements for payment, the committee will assume that you are not attending the 2014 Ruckus and you will be removed from the list (which is sad because we want you to have an awesome time). Additionally, food and t-shirt preorders are due. If your team wants some awesome 10th anniversary t-shirts, get your orders in ASAP!

The current team list stands at 40 teams:
20
174
191
340
378

865

Will the same very rude pit announcer be back in that position?

Will there be a webcast of the event?

Hello everyone!

We are only a few short days away from what is shaping up to be an awesome Ruckus!

The team list stands at 40 awesome teams including world champions, world finalists, original FRC teams, Hall of Fame teams, 2014 regional winners and more!

If you aren't excited yet, here is some more cool news. We will once again be doing Pie-in-the-Eye, where you can have a chance to throw a pie at your favorite volunteers (myself included). These tickets will be on sale for $1. We will also have old and current shirts available for $5 and $12, respectively. Who doesn't love Ruckus Swag?

Additionally, because it is the 10th Anniversary, we will also be raffling off a 2014 Game Ball signed by all 2014 participating teams! Tickets will also be available, and the winner must be present!

Lastly, we will have a 2015 Control System beta-test information table staffed by some of the beta-test teams at Ruckus. More details on this will be announced, but we hope this will be informative for the teams attending!

Remember to follow us on facebook and twitter for further exciting updates!


Are you ready to Rah Cha Cha?!

No, both of these teams declined invites from 2852. Additionally, the 3rd robot on #1 was 3951, not 3941.

Another great Ruckus. My congratulations to the organizing team. The venue is great, the event went smoothly and the sound was vastly improved.

[Team 20 Rose]

On behalf of Team 20, Thank you to all for your hard work. We had a blast!

[billylo]

Awesome staff, super cool idea (a robotics competition in a historic armory near Halloween weekend!!!) and great competition, those are just a few of the many reasons we have enjoyed Rah Cha Cha Ruckus.

thank you for doing that for the community. Happy 10th anniversary!

[Maximillian]

This was an awesome event with an amazing group of volunteers working it. 5254 will definitely try to attend Ruckus next year.

Sorry to teams 20 and 1511 for our lack of doing anything in eliminations. I was so excited for our alliance and became very disappointed when our robot broke down.

Loads of fun, everyone! Big props to the Ruckus committee and all of the volunteers!
