Ralley in The Valley

"Rally in the Valley" event, Sat. March 12, Marlborough, Mass. Event sponsored by the National Robotics League to be held at Assabet Valley Technical High School.

may be a little early, but whose planning on coming?

I know of my team, and the hanover kids.

I would love to see some more robots from PA and that area if possible,

I know Catasauqua High School is bringing their robots from motorama, who feels like joining the bandwagon?

I love when its at the high school, its so cool, it went well last time it was pretty organized

Less than 2 weeks away now...

LS will be there(3 bots)

Hanover Said they'll be there

Marshall and the bloomsburg team are coming up

Catasqua High is coming up...

Any Miami teams or other PA teams wanna come, (dubard, rjw, Plum????)


If anyone has hobbyweights that are in HS I am sure there will be plenty of room.

I'd rather have the comp packed with active weapons if possible the wedge vs wedge matches are unbearable.

I am fine with wedges competing, so long as they actually fight active weaponed robots.

Wish we could Jeeves but it is too close to our regional competition

Last I had heard is that since our old adviser retired the new guy is back to trying to use the CNC router in the wood shop like we had tried our first year...
yeah theres reasons why we didnt use it after lol

i cant wait busy week for us this Saturday is our biggest fundraiser than next Saturday is the competition. of course there will be some late nights at the high school in between to make sure the bots are all set. Better stock up on red bull.

whats the big fundraiser you guys have going on? We have one planned for the Friday after.

We are renting out the Cafeteria and hoping to have a large scale Call of Duty Black ops tournament with $5 entry. Winner get 10% of the profit, rest goes to us. If anyone on here will be close by on the 18th you should drop by the school.

Yea Im just using it to machine basic frame pieces and small pieces

haha if i lived close enough i would stop by your fundraiser and win 10% of your profits and then donate it to my own team

our fundraiser is a party of sorts at a local golf club where we invite everyone who donated to us and sell more tickets at $10 a piece. then we show people our robots hold raffles and silent auctions with things we had donated to us its actually pretty cool.

Great competition today lot of great robots.
i got to meet jeeves and we had an unbelievable match between the bull and anonymous still not sure how we won ill get my videos up asap.

Was the the greatest event I have been to yet.

Awesome fights all day and everyone was friendly.

Anonymous competed in 3 grudge matches/ rumble Dished out some serious hits that made me extrememly proud of it.

LS won the Sportsmanship award, as well as the Judges Choice award for the fight against the bull.


Hanover came in 1st with the bull, and It threw robots to the rough all day.

It was a great day but I was sad when I remembered that this was my competition here, but it was sure a hell of a way to end it.

It was nice to get to talk with turtle and crow conor

Awesome Match!


The bull win by judges decision

Nice carnage
