I wonder if we couldn't convince 1325 to come?

With the new Canadian off season event off and running its most likely a better deal to stick closer to home for many teams. We'll have to see if any more Canadians want to come down and play with us anymore.

Last year we had too many problems with team members not having passports, so we are going to an off season event in Ontario. Hopefully we can make it next season.

Unfortunately that's why American teams often don't go to Canada (though they should. Canada FIRST is awesome).

Am I wrong in assuming that this will be livestreamed?

Last year it was not.

The internet at the Main Street Armory is not strong enough to handle it.

Team 346 is looking forward to meeting and competing in the Ruckus. The competition looks to be an interesting mix. I sure we CAN all enjoy it. And some of us will enjoy some hometown support.
And what about Team 2053??? We have seen them before was hoping to meet up on their "near" home turf.
And a question, can we bring garbage plates in for lunch?

Hello everyone!

A few updates to share! As Ed mentioned, we now have 37 teams registered for Ruckus. Remember that paying the registration fee is the only guarantee of a spot in the armory. There is still space left, and we’d love to have you join us. If you haven’t, register here. Additionally, if you would like to register a second robot, you may do so after October 2nd. The cost for this will be the same as the fee when you registered your first robot.

Second: Rule Changes, including our rationale, have been added to the website. As always, we will have a drivers meeting where any questions can be addressed to the head referee.

Third: Volunteer registration is also live! Sign up here to help make Ruckus the best event it can be.

120 Days until Ruckus!

Unfortunately the Armory has very strict policies about bringing outside food into the venue but the restaurant where the Garbage Plate originated from is right down the street from the event.

Do you have a cap on the number of teams you can host?
