yeah for progress!

I remember doing expo matches at the Monroe County Fairgrounds in Rochester

with three whole teams: Kodak, Xerox X-cats, and Gleason/Fairport (maybe four, the original team 73 Edison/Harris?)

I think 18 teams at a one day off season event is excellent!

It was a lot of fun

it was also a lot of work, for individual teams to set up our homemade fields

to have people there 5 or 6 hours a day for 3 or 4 days

and it was almost impossible to have real matches - most of the time we showed off the robots functions and talked to people about FIRST

I think the Ruckus is a big step up, much more impressive for potential sponsors, schools, and new students to get a taste of what FIRST is like.

I know there are atleast 2 teams not on the site, team 340 (2) and the new team from Honeoye Falls.

No mention of VEX in the press release? It would be a great chance to allow people to see all aspects of FIRST

HFL is getting 1213's second robot


as for 1591, nobody knows...if they don't compete that is probably the robot that 73 will use.
