RiverRage (the longest running off-season event in the world!) will be held on October 29th in Manchester, NH this year. We are expecting all kinds of cool extra activities to celebrate in addition to the competition itself.
T-minus 1 week.
As of right now we plan to run static defenses for the entire event. Current layout is as follows, Low Bar, Cheval De Frise, Ramparts, Sally Port, then Rock Wall.
There will be a bonus “pumpkin” added in the last 30 seconds worth extra points.
And as always, the 1st pick for each alliance will come out of the pumpkin.
As usual, 2876 is excited for River Rage. We were wondering if information about facilities and layouts will be updated soon; we have a fairly large pit display and are trying to decide how much of it to bring, and that would depend on the size and shape of the pits.
A packet has been sent out to team leader / team mentors who signed up with the RR staff. I think two revisions went out today. Not sure if / when it was going to be made public. From what I recall, pits open at 07:00 with opening ceremonies at 08:30. Elim matches would start at ~13:00 and awards at 16:00.
Hey all, check out the webcast! We’ve got two going, one with audio in 1080p on twitch.tv/FRCGamesense and a stream with all cameras on simultaneously but no audio at http://www.youtube.com/user/FRCTeamsGlobal/live. You can lower the quality on either of them if you have a slower connection or are on mobile, so check it out!
