How can I (and my team) get involved with the CTX FRC alliance?

Also, any idea on when volunteers will be contacted and receive updates on event roles, times, etc?

I see the event on TBA. https://www.thebluealliance.com/event/2018txrr

Will this event have a webstream ?

Was a great event. 3999 found a way to leave FRC with a bang! Left the intake on the floor. 1296 and 4610 were broken as well. All of the volunteers had a great time and I will surely miss those guys. Having TRR as the first event we ever competed at in 2011 and as the last event we will ever compete in was pretty cool. We say goodbye to 3999 and hope that it will not be forgotten.

I am sure I am not alone in being sorry to hear that 3999 is not continuing. You all have been great friends over the years. It has always been fun to compete with you. You will be missed. Best of luck in your future endeavours, especially if it means a return to FRC.

It won’t. It was fun competing with and against 3999 through the years. Gone, maybe, but not forgotten.

I wish we could have played more together. Your team will be greatly missed. I will always have great memories.

I told the team and mentors that it was an honor to be part of Shadetrees final match. Much respect to this team. Hats off from the Bronc Botz.

The Bronc Botz thank teams Eagle Robotics 5417 for the 2nd alliance partner selection and Hudson Robotics 4295 for teaming up and making a great finalist run at TRR 2018.
