Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

I would be shocked if team 433 did not return. Regardless it is a shame to see such a large list of teams not registered yet, hopefully that will change before kickoff.

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

Another reason for no Week 2 event could be because of the NYC Regional, and wanting to allow MAR teams to go to that regional, like last year.

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

Since 433 (Firebirds) is hosting their 3rd annual off-season event, girlPOWER, this weekend, it's a good bet they are returning - probably have been too busy to register.

It's a great event with all-female driveteams, and lots of activities for the local young students.

We're up to 93 teams registered, with only 13 teams from 2012 that have yet to register. We have 5 "true" rookies along with returning team 1617 and offshoot team 193. Max capacity is 106 teams based on the currently listed district capacities.

I put together a spreadsheet with 2013 registration data if anyone is interested.

Hatboro Horsham is going to be amazing. 6 out of the top 10 ranked MAR teams from the 2012 season will first compete here. Here are some quick stats I calculated just to see the caliber of teams attending.

Championship Winners – 1 (25)
Division Winners – 1 (25)
Division Finalists – 1 (341)
State Championship Winners – 3 (100%) (25, 341, 1640)
State Championship Finalists – 1 (33%) (1218)
District Winners – 10 (66%) (25, 341, 341, 365, 816, 1218, 1218, 1640, 2559, 2590)
District Finalists – 4 (26%) (103, 708, 1403, 1403)
Regional Winners – 2 (341, 2590)
Regional Finalists – 1 (1218)

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

Not to mention three Hall of Fame teams (103, 341, 365), and two 2012district Chairman's award winners (1218, 2590). The HH district certainly shapes up with just about any other regional/district event anywhere, including Michigan.

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

Hands down 341 was the best all around robot last year. Jarred (and 341 drive team) take it easy on us this year we have new drivers.

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

So do we :cool:

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

Lehigh will be a great venue for MAR Championships (and I'm not just saying that because I go to Lehigh). It maybe a little far away from the geographic center of the region, but there is a decent number of starting high tech industries around the area, and if the word got out to them properly, may be interested in checking out what FIRST is all about.

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

Does anyone have/can find some pictures or a video of whatever stadium we will be at at Lehigh?

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

Stabler Arena

Last check we were up to 95 teams on 2nd event registration eve.

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

You can now add 222 (District Finalist), 357 (District Finalist and Regional Winner), and 4342 (District Finalist) to the statistics.

It's going to be a (metaphorical, hopefully not literal) blood bath.

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

Looks like it should be really good. No bleachers. Looks like (comparing the size of an FRC field to a basketball court in my head) everything should fit just fine. Hopefully they have a good setup for pits.

Re: 2012-2013 MAR District Event Schedule
 

Updated the registration chart here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...SRi1GSmNHZ kE

Quick Stats (as of ~4PM):

96 teams registered (7 rookie/offshoot/returning teams)
58 teams from NJ (62 in 2012)
37 teams from PA (35 in 2012)
1 team from DE (2 in 2012)
10 teams from 2012 still missing

59 teams have registered for their 2 district events
37 teams have registered for 1 of their events

96 teams would result in an average of 32 teams per regional. Capacity is currently 106.

Hatboro-Horsham is looking stacked. Should be a great way to start the season.

Thanks for putting that together, Scott!

Students and teachers ended up voting on doing Mt. Olive again. CHA and Mt. Olive for us.
