Is anybody else watching?

I started to, but the quality of the video makes it too hard on the eyes. I'm going to stick with watching the Rah Cha Cha Ruckus webcast for now.

1. 121, 131, 155

The "Rocky" Alliance: 348, 125
If they defeat the #1 alliance in the first round, or an alliance in the losers bracket, they get to choose a robot from the alliance they defeated to join the "Rocky" and continue in the tournament

For those who were watching but ran into trouble with only seeing a gray screen, the webcast is BACK UP! The video is still grainy, but the audio is clear and the video stream is updating well despite the low resolution.

The #1, #2, #4, and #6 alliances won their first matches.

Sorry about the quality, but Sprint only has EVDO in Manchester NH. I've heard we may have 3G next spring. So, hopefully it will better next year.

Team 40 (146) had a great time and would like to thank everyone for all the hard work.

Also, we would like to thank 501 and 839 for being great alliance partners.

Also, a job well done by 121, 131, 155.

Congratulations to 121 and their partners 131 and 155 on their victory at River Rage! Watching the matches on the webcast was excellent, thank you very much Team 40 for setting it up!

I just wanted to send a thank you to all those who made River Rage 12 a success. To all the teams who showed up, fought hard, and brought great spirit and sportsmanship...THANK YOU!

I would like to ask those in attendance, what did you think of the event? Is there anything that we can do to make River Rage 13 better for you? What do you think of the Double Elimination format? What do you think of the Rocky team/round idea?

Once again, thanks for joining us...next year we plan on making it even wilder!

On behalf of team 121, I would like to thank teams 131 C.H.A.O.S. and 155 TechnoNuts for being an awesome alliance. The drive teams were great to work with, both eager for the next match strategy. When each team collaborates and works as one, it makes for a fun afternoon.

Also, in my opinion River Rage was the best run off-season in New England. The refs and field crew did a great job, and worked through lunch to get everyone out at a decent time. See everyone next year!

Team 241 had a fantastic time! We especially would like to thank our alliance partners:

To the PVC Pirates from Londonderry (1058): Thanks for picking us in the first round - it was a classy move by a team from the school that has historically been our "natural rival".

To the BG Cardinals (811): Thanks for all the the technical support, both on Saturday as well as back in the spring at the Unveiling (Remember? You loaned us a battery when our connections went bad). A better display of GP has yet to be seen!

And thanks again to all the sponsoring teams. We certainly appreciate all the effort and hard work that goes into making an event like this run smoothly. We'll certainly see everyone next year!
