FiM off-seasen Events
 

I've seen similar threads for other regions, but I have yet to find one for Michigan. What are the 2012 off-season Events in the great lakes state and their corresponding dates? So far I have:

M.A.R.C. Robotics Competition 6/22-23
West Michigan Robotics Invitational 10/20

Kettering usually does one, i.e. Kettering Kickoff, but as far as I know their website has not updated yet so the 2012 details have not been released. I know there are others, but which ones am I still missing? Ohio and Indiana can also hop on this thread too if they want to.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

There's usually IGVC, but I haven't heard anything about it for this year.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

From what I've heard, IGVC is not being held this year. Though, I'm not sure what I've heard is official.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

Wow. First Jack retires and then IGVC "retires"? Sad days these are...

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

As one of the people in charge of updating the website for Kettering...I should get the ball rolling on that...

Kettering Kickoff will be September 15th (9/15).

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

Maker Faire: July 28-29

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

That was my original thought. Usually FIRST is mentioned somewhere, but I couldn't find it this year.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

The unofficial word is that IGVC will host the FRC competition again this year. Stay tuned...

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

That's great news! 2137 was looking forward to it. We couldn't make it last year since half our team were seniors and graduation was the same weekend.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

Is this a competition or some sort of demonstration?

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

It's a great fun competition! Especially when it hasn't rained buckets the night before...

Although there are those who thought that just made it all the better! ;)

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

I am going to have my daughter update the FiM website with the 2012 off season events. Are there any other events besides IGVC, MARC, Kettering Kickoff and West Michigan Invitational?

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

I've got confirmation on IGVC this year for those who would like to know. 68's been invited.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

Kettering Kickoff is unofficially set for Saturday, September 22, 2012.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

Somebody said 9/15 earlier. I am assuming there is a change of plan. We will put in 9/22 unless I hear from somebody else.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

It's 9/22.

I said the 15th, because that's the weekend before finals for Kettering students and when it's traditionally been held. This year, the event will be the same weekend as our finals.

I'll update the website as soon as I receive the updated information. (Should be in the next few days.)

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

Team 3322 is going to IGVC. Who else is going? I can't seem to find any information anywhere about this.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

862 will be there.

There is a website on the FiM webpage for the event. But no team list yet: http://www.firstinmichigan.org/FRC_2...ardec_frc.html

I know they typically invite the top 24 teams based on FiM ranking for the year. They bump down the list a bit since some teams can't make it.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

The Rochester Ruckus will be happening this year. It should be around late October though I believe the exact date is TBD.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

1023 will be there! :)

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

As stated earlier, 68 will be there.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

1918 will be going to MARC and WMRI

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

John seems pretty bored.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

In Rochester Michigan? :)

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

201 is signed up. Hope it's not hot/humid like last year.

Ohhh gosh.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

An upset as the number 2 takes down the number 1! I think it will only take 68 matches though...

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

I'm not looking forward to that. I really pushed to have it a different weekend because it's going to be hard to skip finals for a robotics competition.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

830 is going to IGVC and MARC.

Re: FiM off-seasen Events
 

2137 is looking forward to be at IGVC and MARC also.
