Thanks Andy, i may have to depart a bit early, but I'll be sure to leave my name and number so you can award me best costume //statement oozing with satirical/sarcastic ego//

I just found out last week that 1922 Oz-Ram will be there and I will be able to attend too! Now I have lots of questions.

Is www.riverrage.org the best website for the event? It looks like it has not been updated for a while. When it is probably most of my questions will have answers (I do realise that it is time consuming when everyone has school work, jobs and robot work to do).

Are Andy Grady and Dave Price going to do the announcing?

Only 37.5 days left.

Glad to hear that 1922 will be making it. The current url is the official one. I'm not sure how updated it will be over the next month, but I'll try to get some information out here.

The competition will be held at Memorial High School in Manchester, which is great because it is a big venue with alot of history. We will we using the double elimination format again. This year, the standard rules of Breakaway apply. The only differences will be that we will not be using a DOGMA timer (DOGMA delay of game penalties will be assessed at refs discretion). Also, the draft will have the top 8 picking as per normal FIRST rules, with the exception that it will NOT be serpentine. It will go 1 through 8, then back through 1 to 8 again.

We will also be having best robot costume and best team costume awards. I forgot to mention the best individual costume award to the RR comittee at the last meeting, but I still love the idea.

Also, we will be once again doing the Legacy Award. I highly encourage teams who are attending the event, to bring materials (posters, info packets, etc.) for the Legacy teams and the River Rage Comittee to judge. We want to know why your team exemplifies FIRST! Past legacy award winners include team 178 from Farmington CT, Team 88 TJ Squared, Team 126 Gael Force, and team 78 AIR Strike.

Finally, registration is capped at 24 teams. So far, we have 23 signed up! First 24 to pay are guaranteed enterance. If you want to attend, please make sure that you contact Ed Forcier through e-mail at elf305@yahoo.com. The enterance fee is 200 dollars. WE ARE ALMOST FULL! IF YOU WANT TO COMPETE, PLEASE CONTACT US ASAP!

Hope to see you all there. If you have any further questions, please post them and I'll try my best to answer them.

p.s. I will be on the microphone in some manner, most likely emcee. I'll figure out who my partner is soon.

p.p.s. Start practicing your Bobblehead.

[Dantvman27]

I am disappointed to report that team 241 will not be attending. We are too busy planning NHTechfest (www.nhtechfest.org, everyone is invited, its free!) amongst other things. But I think I will still stop by in my Halloween costume and cheer on FIRST in general lol

[kstl99]

Thanks, Andy for the info. Two more questions: Do you have a list of the teams attending this year? And most important - Does anyone have any video of Dave's Bobblehead performance?

Dan - Sorry that 241 can't make it but I am also looking forward to NH Techfest!

Team 1519 is hoping to be able to compete at River Rage again for our 6th consecutive year; payment is already in the mail!

[Andy Grady]

I'll see what I can do about getting a team list up here.

Going to be an excellent event. Get your robot costumes ready!

[KrazyCarl92]
