2016 Gateway Robotics Challenge - October 1st

[Ryan Dognaux]

Registration is open for the 2016 Gateway Robotics Challenge - http://gatewayroboticschallenge.com/registration.html Entry fee is $250 per team and teams can enter multiple robots with multiple drive teams.

This will be the 3rd year of our annual St. Louis area off-season event at Hazelwood Central High School. Thanks to FRC 1985 for being amazing event hosts!

We've taken feedback from last year and will be providing pre-order box lunches this year. We'll also have better visibility on team rankings throughout the event. Thank you for the valuable feedback so we can continue to make the event better each year.

More details on rule changes to come as we get closer to the event. Looking forward to seeing all the local teams and some out of town teams too!

Even if you have no experience but are interested in being a referee, game announcer, scorekeeper, etc. We will pair you with someone to help train you.

I would like to add that these events are great places for new volunteers to get involved and learn roles without the pressure that you sometimes experience at an official event.

What a day! Congratulations to our winning alliance! Shout out to Ryan and his team, as well as all the volunteers for making this great event happen! We entered two robots, and our rookies learned more than we could have hoped for. And we got second seed, so that was fun.

The Luteran Roboteers "B" team would like to thank Teams 1658 and 1094 for selecting us as an alliance partner and leading us to capture the championship at GRC! It was a thrill for our rookie drive team! See you at the Steamworks in 2017!

[sanelss]

Team 1658 would like to thank all the organizers and volunteers for hosting this awesome event and teams 1094 and 432(more accurately the Luteran Roboteers A and B teams!) for such an awesome alliance. We worked well together and it showed by setting numerous high scores of the day and winning the event!

If anyone has video or pictures of this event please contact me or post them. Youtube has taken the stream recording down so can't even watch that.

We recorded the matches and they will be uploaded this week once I edit them down to just the matches. YouTube kills the stream archive because of all the copyrighted music unfortunately.
