Tomorrow marks the official start of FRC 2012! Teams in Idaho are meeting in Idaho Falls to pick up their kits and learn about the new challenge from FIRST headquarters. I am so excited to follow our Declo FRC Team! This is a huge commitment for the families, and it is a great opportunity for the high school students who have chosen to participate. Have fun tomorrow and keep us posted. The teams have about 2 months to design and build their robots, and the competitions start in March. Good luck in 2012!

Rebound Rumble is played by two competing alliances on a flat, 27 x 54 ft field. Each alliance consists of three robots. They compete to score as many basketballs into their hoops as they can during a 2 minute and 15 second match. The higher the hoop in which the basketball is scored, the more points the alliance receives.
The match begins with a 15-second Hybrid Period in which robots operate independently of driver inputs. During this Hybrid Period, one robot on each alliance may be controlled using a Microsoft Kinect.
How cool is that!!
