Team 470 will most likely be attending! Word on the street is the famous Grant is emceeing this year so I know I can't wait to be there!

Re: MARC 2012
 

Steve, you could do the Mentor matches as a single elimination. That would speed up the process.
This event is just too much fun!

Re: MARC 2012
 

If you don't have teams pay to do the mentor matches (we don't charge for them for Ruckus) then you won't feel so much pressure to do them even if we're behind. If we are doing ok on time then we go for it. If we're behind we call it a day and go get some sleep.

Re: MARC 2012
 

Give each team a ticket and they can turn it in when they want a mentor to drive during the regular matches.

Re: MARC 2012
 

I will be sending in our registration Tuesday... Hoping we can make the cutoff again - had a great time last year!

Re: MARC 2012
 

More make each teams last qualifying match a mentor match.

As one of the original 12, FIRST team 279, TechFusion, will be there
It is a great event and a good way to see which younger students can step up.

M.A.R.C. is the birthplace of the world famous emcee "GRANT". I only hope that he is able to make it back again this year.

Re: MARC 2012
 

I don't think MC Grant was born. More like formed out of pure energy. And fueled by caffeine and enthusiastic crowds. :)

Re: MARC 2012
 

Actually think the formation started with the combination of green hair spray and a big smile.

Re: MARC 2012
 

Team "TnT" 280 has sent in the registration and looking forward to a great experience as always at M.A.R.C.

Re: MARC 2012
 

Team 862 Lightning Robotics has sent in the registration and is looking forward to being a first time attendee at M.A.R.C.

Re: MARC 2012
 

Caffeine? The man himself claimed at the Ann Arbor district in 2010 that all that energy comes from nothing but H20. :cool:

Inspiration by Copioli probably contributes to His Grantedness.

Re: MARC 2012
 

Are there going to be any rule changes at MARC this year? I know in the past it has been similar to IRI where some of the less popular or (how to put this delicately) less well thought out rules were changed.

If there are plans to make rule changes, there is already a great discussion going on in the IRI 2012 thread, so the powers that be (meaning you Gary :p ) can read that over if they haven't already been following it and they're looking for inspiration.
