On the west coast we have 2 post season events and we hear about events in other areas of the country.
What is your favorite post-season event?
My favorite post-season event was the Brunswick Eruption that my team (25) held last November. Our school layout is perfect for competitions and we had great food.
Definitely IRI. You can’t beat a 2-day event with all the best teams in the Midwest. Plus, we were 1st seed and winners last year. It was a great time!
you guys holding it again? caus we were thinking we might possibly, (would have to work out the details, such as if we could have the school for the day.)
i would love to try and get my team together to show all the new members how the competitions run, i remember my freshman year on the team we went to rumble in the hills, at watchung, which was awesome.
I’m working on making the Beantown Blitz a new favorite… lets just say I’m doing my best to make it a reincarnation of Rumble
I hear so much about IRI that I might try to travel out there personally this summer… it would be a fun road trip
Otherwise, I always had a good time at Battlecry

Ramp Riot of course 
Although Brunswick Eruption, PARC, Duel on the Delaware, and the MD State Fair were all extremely enjoyable as well.
I’m a fan of battlecy@wpi
California Robot Games, organized by the WRRF.
Battlecry has all the best teams from the northeast, a great set-up, good refs;) , and we’re going for the hatrick this year, hope we don’t have to flip rage to win it:(
My team has never done a post competition but we want to this year so could anyon give more info or tell me where we could sig up for any of these. Thanxz

At this point there is one off season per month for the entire fall. The “local group” moves the November competition to Bridgewater this year. There is also PARC in May.
It takes a good year to plan one of these and do it right. I know Paul K. is already well into that process.
I enjoyed working on the Dupont Duel on the Delaware host by teams 316 and 365 last year. We plan on having it again this year.
2000 Ramp Riot is my fav since it is the first FIRST competition I ever attended. I still remember running victory laps around the gym like it was only yesterday.
The WRRF’s CalGames…
I have always thought the most underrated and one of the best put together offseasons each year is Mayhem on the Merrimack. They usually have a very solid group of teams from the northeast, and the competition runs smoother than most other offseasons.

The date is TBA.
Probably 1 and 1/4 days (Friday night for setting up, some inspections, and maybe a little practice), like last year.
It will probably be held at Pioneer High School, again.
We’re already talking about what side-events we’re going to incorperate into the competition.
Defiantly the FORD Sweet Repeat being held by Team 1037
Are there any off-season comps that go on somewhere that’s not in the NE. I’d love to go to one but I live in AR.

Arkansas isn’t very close to California, but as for post-season competitions, California has both the California Robot Games (as previously mentioned), and the Chattsworth Post-Season Competition (I’m not sure about the official name, and I can’t say I’ve really heard anything about it, for this year).
