[deejay021]

ok so our alliance won at the milwaukee regionals and it's our rookie year... wanted to ask if there will be any other rookie teams at regionals we should party

Which ever team wins Rookie All Star is invited to Nationals, thus there will be quite a few rookie teams

Or if a rookie wins a regional.

Hmmm... I wonder if 1511 will be doing their rookie get-together on Thursday again. (I'm not part of a rookie team, nor am I going, but I know this has happened in the past.)

Congratulations Team 2549 on your regional win!

For the past three years Team 1511 has hosted the "All Rookie Meet and Greet" (ARMAG) at Championships. I'm pretty sure we will be hosting it again this year. It will be announced here on CD as well as in e-mails to Rookie teams, if we can collect their e-mails. There will also be a flier given to all of the rookie teams as early as we can when we get to the competition with the date, place and time.

So yes! There will be other Rookie teams and yes, you'll have a chance to celebrate your success with some other rookies!

Excel #2474 will be there if we can raise the funds. Those of you who won the rookie all-star award, what did you do to earn it (other than have a good robot)?

Scroll down; everyone past 2335 is a rookie. Can't tell you how many are actually going, though...

[Akash Rastogi]

Just curious, how many of you rookie teams out there actually hurdle? Many of the rookies I have seen are either lapbots or run laps and try to herd.

So my question is, what do you all do and what do you do the best?

Can't wait to meet everyone in Atlanta

Team 2468 from Austin, Texas will be attending Championships representing Lone Star Regional as Rookie All Star. We placed fifth overall in the seeding matches.

We are a speed bot (15 ft/sec) with the ability to herd and knock the ball off. We have an autonomous in which we got four lines at LSR. We have true Ackermann steering with two wheel drive. Our driver has had over 20 hours of practice since we also built a practice bot.

We had an education team, outreach team, website, business team. Our education team did presentations at several of our feeder schools, three area events with engineers and colleges concerning career fairs and career choices.
