The registration looks that way again this year - but don't believe everything you read. One trip to Yipsi should last team a lifetime

Update on Ruckus!!

We look to have 30 volunteers registered... 20 more free tshirts & food to go!! And for a little friendly competition 1511 is leading the pack of volunteers, 1126 close at its heals, and one or two from several other teams. Keep recruiting your friends & team members! (remember, walkins that day will likely not get shirts or choice of position, so register early!)

It looks like we may have 20 teams now, there are 4 that we know of that have not registered, but are planning on coming. We look forward to the rebirth of Team 73 & we now have 1503 and 1213 coming from out out state! 4 more teams for an even 24 if anyone else wants to come!

Many thanks to Jack of 1213 for bringing the robot all the way out for the new rookie team at HFL!!

So its almost here! Start gathering your tools, your creative costumes, your dodgeball teams, your dollar bills to pie famous FIRSTers! This definitely has the makings of one awesome event!

How could we not bring bot for a team from Ho-NAY-oo-way Falls?

I just hope it doesn't rain in there when they start to cheer!

5 13 20
6 14 19
7 15 18
8 16 17

So if we take the top 24 from FLR and spread them out as so the alliances would look like this:
1126 271 1567
191 250 1713
378 340 1585
188 1930 1511
578 84 145
229 1518 1405
1901 1591 1551
1559 467 639


Geez the top 2 alliances still look similar (take 229 for 271 and that's not too big a drop off. 229 has better offensive capabilities but 271 is a mean defensive robot. 211 is better than 1713 but 1713 was serviceable).

what if multiple people choose the same teams. and those teams give the most points. what will decide the outcome of the winner?

By guessing the final total points of the last match (or I could have them decide the overall amount of points scored in the final. That might be more fun. Will it go 2 or 3 matches? I so love messin' everyone's program up! )

sounds like a good idea. hmm. when would this take place, like when does it open and close?

It opens first thing in the morning (AKA when I get there) and closes after dinner before the playoff tourney.
