The teams in the Finger Lakes area as well as some teams from other States and Canada descended upon Rochester over Halloween weekend for the RaChaCha Ruckus event. (http://ruckus.penfieldrobotics.com)

If those teams are any indicator, the upcoming Finger Lakes Regional in March 2007 will be a real BLAST.

Congrats to the RaChaCha ruckus committee and onwards to 2007!

Finger Lakes regional happens to fall on my spring break this year, if any teams are going and have extra hotel space or any one else is heading up teamless and would like to share a room let me know, I would love to go but it would be too expensive to stay in a room my self.

Also if any teams would like an extra set of hands let me know, otherwise I think I will be volunteering.

Wow, 365 and 191 at the same competition. From what I understand about the levels of spirit from these two teams, it's gonna be close.

The X-cats are always a fun team to have at an event, and they seem to have a never-ending conga-line going. Too bad they can't distribute their "cat food" anymore.

Finger Lakes will be a new venue for us, but from the reports we hear it is one rockin' regional! March 7th can't arrive too early!
