Oh, no! I just realized that the Beantown Blitz is scheduled for the same weekend (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92206).
I know 1519 has always gone to both; I guess that will change this year. :(

You make it seem as though you can't go to both! ;)

Hmmm, which one should 3467 go for? If we had the batteries we could send a low row to beantown and a minibot to merrimack! ;) LOL

[BEEKMAN]

Hmm, seems like it's time to make VanceSMI happy and send our 2010 'bot to a 2011 event! :p

Its also the National Math competition at Penn State!

[demosthenes2k8]

Yeah, our mentors aren't too happy about that, they're actually really bumming. It's tough that it ended up that way...
3467 should definitely go to Mayhem in Merrimack :P You all should, actually. The Chop Shop tries to make sure that MAYHEM is as fun as possible, so teams can fully enjoy the competition!

18 spots still available!

1922 will be there. Had a great time last year and expect to enjoy it again this year.

[Ken Streeter]

1519 will be attending Mayhem in Merrimack again this year. We were sad to have to choose between Beantown Blitz and Mayhem in Merrimack, but how could we pass up a tournament with our name in it? :-)

[BrendanB]

Grr, vacation is scheduled for the 4th-11th and my sister graduates on May 21st. There just went BC12,Merrimack, and Wolcott.

Then again there is always the fall to look forward too! Good luck have a blast this year guys!

You made the right choice!

[Ken Streeter]

With Championships behind us now, we're starting to wonder what other teams will be attending Mayhem in Merrimack -- is there a preliminary team list yet?

[demosthenes2k8]

The registration emails (I'm 99% sure this is all of them) show the following:

131 CHAOS
138 Entropy
166 Chop Shop
190 Gompei and the HERD
238 Cruisin' Crusaders
501 Power Knights
509 Red Storm
1073 The Force Team
1289 Gearheadz
1519 Mechanical Mayhem
1735 Green Reapers
1922 Oz-Ram


If I missed your team and you registered, please contact me immediately! And don't forget that you can register here (http://chopshop166.com/drupal/node/25) - there are 24 available spots, so 12 spots are still open!

[lucybugg101]

Wish that 1721 could go! We however have a conflict with the date :/ Have fun everybody!

[Abrakadabra]

Team 3467 - The Windham Windup - just registered. I hope we're not too late!
(After all, every proper competition needs a Rookie Team, right?)

Ok, so after checking THIS is the current team list,


40 Checkmate
131 CHAOS
138 Entropy
151 Tough Techs (Maybe)
166 Chop Shop
190 Gompei and the HERD
238 Cruisin' Crusaders
501 Power Knights
509 Red Storm
1073 The Force Team
1289 Gearheadz
1519 Mechanical Mayhem (x2 bots)
1735 Green Reapers
1922 Oz-Ram
3467 Windham Windup

So there are actually 15 possibly 16 teams going so there are 8-9 spots left.
Also our mentor that is planning mayhem is thinking about doing 2v2 matches because there are not that many teams, it would be interesting to see how this turns out. 8 Days to mayhem! see you all then.

WHAT! Only 16 teams registered? This was a great event last year. I hope the remaining 8 slots get filled quickly.

I don't know for sure right now but i heard that a additional team had registered and assuming 151 goes we will have 18 teams which will tie our all time high for registrations!

[dk5sm5luigi]

Do you have a schedule available for the event? I haven't found one yet. I am mostly looking for a start time so I know when our team needs to leave.

Can't wait for Saturday!! :) Just wondering if there's a more updated team list and if it will indeed be 2v2, if anyone from 166 that knows sees this post before Saturday and could post back that would be stellar!

Thanks,
Gen

Ah good to see 319 registered. Guess I'll be seeing all of you saturday!

[klmx30302]

So the field is set up and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. We now have 14 teams but 16 bots as teams 40 and 1519 are bringing 2 bots. Also we were treated to a surprise we setting up, we were unrolling the carpet and one of the halves was covered in confetti and we realized we got half the carpet from Einstein! So every team is getting a bag of the confetti tomorrow. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif
