Winners:
1511, 340 and 578
Finalists:
191, 1518, and 3173.
Those are the only ones I am 100% sure about, hopefully someone has the official results that they can post for everything.

GG all.
Thanks to all the organizers, as well as all the teams who came! I had a great time, as did the rest of my team, even the rookies. We use Ruckus as a recruitment tool, to get new members to drive our robot, and see how fun FIRST is.

I dont know if I am ever going to forget watching one of the freshman knock a robot over, then ram it. Then hang on the wrong bar. In the quaterfinals. I think we all learned a valuable lesson: Teach people the manual before putting them at the proverbial wheel.

I would apologizes to our alliance partners, though, since I know that some teams dont let noobs drive, so we did kind of kill your chances to get anywhere. And I still don't know how we got third seed, with such awful driving.

Anyways, I hope to see all the teams at FLR, and at Ruckus next year!

That match was actually quite interesting to watch.

We use Ruckus as a recruitment tool, to get new members to drive our robot, and see how fun FIRST is.

That is what FIRST and the ruckus is all about. We do the exact same thing but we also ask them to attend our strategy-drive meetings, read the rules, and fill out a "take home test" on the previous years game.

Anyways, I hope to see all the teams at FLR, and at Ruckus next year!

Don't forget the Rally it's the preseason event we do right before ship

I loved the ruckus, got a chance to drive and somehow we came out on top.
