BattleCry@WPI 7!

[orelinde]

Team 1733 is on the Ready Reserves and we sure hope we get called to action and hope to be ready in time.

I guess 48 teams still isn't enough.

[Master Dictator]

Yea I was planning on trying to convince my team to travel from PA to go but its already full

You could guess that even 70 teams wouldn't be enough. Battlecry has become the premiere event in the New England FIRST offseason. Some would say that winning the event carries as much weight as walking away from a regional with a championship. Really, there is nothing quite like the electric feeling in the building during finals...everyone is loud, and the music is pumping. Its a great time.

Can't wait to see you all there!

You can say that again! As is per usual, the BattleCry staff try to add something each year to make the event bigger and better than ever. Already this year, we have increased the capacity of the event to 48 teams. Many of the things the staff have been planning thus far look promising and it's likely that there will be even more to look forward to upon arrival to Harrington Auditorium in June and in the announcements made in future SITREPS (Situation Reports) found on the Tactical Updates BattleCry webpage.

And don't forget about the Team Social events on Friday night! In addition to the now-traditional BBQ-on-the-Quad, in the past there have been activities such as ice cream social, DDR, AMF bowling, bingo, billiards, CRUD, and gameshows (BattleCry style!).

Looks like I will be graduating on Thursday, doing safe-grad on Thursday night (it's a lock in), going to battlecry on Friday night and Saturday, and having my graduation party on Sunday. I think I may be able to get a bun of my family to come to Battle Cry including my dad, who has never seen the robot play, and ::crosses fingers:: my grandfather, the electrical engineer. Is it weird that I was hoping we wouldn't have too many snow days so that graduation wouldn't run into battlecry?

I just read the team list, this is going to be one excellent event!

And my last ever competition as a member of team 175.

Hmmm I'm over 20 minutes away... that's kinda far... might not make it...

[Scott Ritchie]

Cyber Blue is so close to making this happen and everybody is excited about coming out. We are trying to get a new team interviewed since we have the IRI about four weeks after this we want people volunteering that will actually be on team. We then need to work out our transportation issues once we get there and things will be golden. Since Battle Cry is no longer the same week as the Formula One race here in Indy it is much easier to get out of the city for this. I bet we are going to see you in June.

No no no... 20 minutes is not worth missing Battlecry! I might be making the 45 minute journey each way both days.. I haven't looked into getting a room there yet.. I might want to hurry!

about time 1126 finally go out to a real off season event.


(i am not bashing RCCRII, but i am saying that more then the local Rochester teams scrimmage)

[kevin.li.rit]

1405 is going too.

I also think your statement is accurate. Rachacha Ruckus is not comparable with battlecry. Not even close.

I am a mentor for team 176 if any teams in the area of Windsor Locks or close to (Connecticut or Western Massachusetts . ) if you need transportation for your robot I have LARGE box truck. For a small fee (depending on how teams I get) to pay for the HIGH COST of fuel I will take your robot and other stuff to Battle Cry. I do not have a lift gate on my truck. So what ever you want to transport must be lifted up to the back of the truck which is 4 feet off the ground. So you would need a few strong men ( or women ) and a boy (or girl )to lift your stuff if it is heavy to the back of the truck. Right now I will be going on Saturday morning. I would need to load truck on Friday night. I would like to load the truck at the Windsor Locks High School or maybe we could work something else out. You need to call me asap so if it I don't get enough teams I will let teams know so they can make other arrangements. I would have to say I need to know by Friday June 16th.
Call me Bob Charrette 860-623-2577 let it ring a lot for voice mail. (cell phone and I do not know how to change the number of rings to have it pick up earlier).
or email me bc56@cox.net

This being the first time I am going to Battle Cry I did not know that play begins on Friday night. I am still willing to help teams out if they need me.
