BunnyBot 2010

The BunnyBot 2010 game rules have just been released. You can find the rules at www.oregonfirst.org/events/bunnybot-2010/

BunnyBots is now in it's fourth year. Organized by the Flaming Chickens, Team 1540 in Portland Oregon it's a pre-season FRC-style competition designed to get new members up to speed with the skills they'll need during the FRC build season. A BunnyBot is a FRC-class robot with more relaxed rules designed to play a simpler game than is typical with FRC. Last year there were 18 robots at the BunnyBot competition in Portland.

Our team typically pairs one or two experienced students with several new ones to build a BunnyBot. We usually enter two. The idea is to have smaller teams so everyone has a chance to own a significant portion of the robot. In fact many students like it even better than FRC because they had a bigger role in the project.

Teams interested in registering should read the rules document and get their registration in ASAP. Space is limited.

Several other regions have discussed hosting a BunnyBot tournament as well. We've designed this game to be especially easy to host with field elements you could build in under two hours. If that's of interest, go for it! Let us know if you're doing so because we're also developing some queue management software that you'll find helpful.
