2007 Virginia FIRST Robot Rumble

Who's ready for the Robot Rumble this Saturday and Sunday? With 18 teams and 54 qualifying matches this should be really exciting. Thanks to VA FIRST for running this!

Re: 2007 Virginia FIRST Robot Rumble

That was the most exciting elimination rounds I have ever seen! To see a match with four excellent robots and only one tube scored is really intense. Good competition from all. Thanks for a great event!!

Re: 2007 Virginia FIRST Robot Rumble

I found the Virginia FIRST website
http://www.virginiafirst.org

I'm curious to know the history of the Robot Rumble competition in Virginia ? How many years, how many teams participate ?

Re: 2007 Virginia FIRST Robot Rumble

I believe this is the second year of the state fair rumble. We had 18 teams participate.

There were definitely many more teams participating during the 2006 rumble.

As mentioned above, this was only the second year of the Virginia Robot Rumble, and as in 2006, was held at the Virginia State Fair in Richmond, Va.
However, there is a long history of off-season events in the greater Washington DC area, giving virtually every team attending the Va. RR an off-season competition within a few hour drive. In 2002 and 2003 there was a competition held during the Maryland State Fair, and in 2005 there was the Capitol Clash in Washington DC during the NBC4 Digital Edge Expo. Since then there has been the Virginia Robot Rumble (2006 & 2007) and the Baltimore Brawl (2007) in the area.

Re: 2007 Virginia FIRST Robot Rumble

Goochland had a great time at the Rumble. It was our first off season event. It was a lot less stressful than a regional and a great opportunity to get some of our new members a taste of what FIRST is all about. We will be back.

Re: 2007 Virginia FIRST Robot Rumble

18 teams participated in about 60 qualifying matches this year, there were 13 per team. Want to teach new drivers or coaches? Lots of matches for lots of practice.

With only 18, we ran 2v2 so as to not totally run the teams into the ground. For the elims, we did 9 alliances and 8 and 9 had a play in round. Seemed to work out well.

We look forward to seeing more teams come back again next year!

Re: 2007 Virginia FIRST Robot Rumble

Yep, 1885 rotated drivers nearly every match until the finals. Different people were put into pit positions they needed to learn but had never done before, and you could tell -- in 3 matches we started with dead batteries and our best set of drivers came from somewhere we would have probably never looked otherwise.

We also had a couple of student leaders emerge from this offseason Rumble, which can do nothing but help the team in the upcoming FRC season.
