When you register a team in a district, you get 2 events.

Also, we were able to apply for generous grants from Apple & the Brin-Wojicki Foundation that basically covered the fees for 2 regionals, and for those that qualified at Sacramento, the fee to go to Champs. (Thank you Brin-Wojicki!!)

Those grants were incredible acts of kindness by both benefactors that Team 5924 will not soon forget.

Team 4543 The Illuminators from Apollo High School San Jose won RAS/Rookie High Seed at Central Valley and Silicon Valley in 2013.

Last 3 of 4 competitions we have made the semi's as Alliance Captains.
Won the Judge's award at Davis in 2014, 2015

Since Apollo is a continuation school every year we have a whole new team.

This is not at all meant to take away from the great job 5817 has done and they deserve to be at champs... but now one less rookie team will be there.
After Exploding Bacon won RAS at Orlando in 2006 we asked the judges at Lone Star to remove us from consideration for RAS there so another rookie would have the chance at Champs. This year our rookie team 5816 did the same thing in South Florida. I agree that it should be like Chairmans.

Re: Double Rookie All-Star Club

3536 was triple rookie all star in 2011. Kettering Ann Arbor and MSC. Best advice is to be humble and hopeful and confident. Try to do the things you see the teams you respect do.

Do one thing very well and document how and why. We hung the mini bot as one of first in the world that year that year. It got us to the worlds that year.

Day to day. Clean up wiring first we had no connection failures at any event. We haven't year to year. Many Veteran teams know and look for clean wires before alliance picks. If it looks like spaghetti there is a fault waiting to happen.

Have fun and don't get too focused on judging. It's important but Always talk to the judges not at them. They know when they are being given the company line and not what your team truly did.

Congrats to all the all stars listed. It shows you get it!

Re: Double Rookie All-Star Club

4930 got the double RAS their rookie year - and this was, if I recall correctly, despite asking judges at their second event to give it to another team!

1714 won double RAS their rookie year as well, and championship Rookie Inspiration.
