Next year, MKM will be a two day event so we have time for double elimination. :P

FTFY Drosty.

Unfortunately I'll be missing MKM III.

Best of luck with everything and I hope to see a nice stream up online :)

I'm pumped to attend MidKnight Mayhem for the first time! (as well as my first event as a part of 5254 :) )

Re: MidKnight Mayhem III - June 27, 2015
 

Will there be a webcast on TBA or elsewhere?

Re: MidKnight Mayhem III - June 27, 2015
 

Unfortunately, no. Couldn't get it worked out with the school's facilities.

So excited for tomorrow! Big shout outs to our friends on 869 for helping us with setup this evening. Our team had some unfortunate circumstances today and a good number of our students couldn't make it for setup. They really saved us.

See you all at 8am. :)

No guarantees, but Team 1676 will hopefully be recording full-field match footage to be posted on our YouTube Channel. Fingers crossed that the batteries last.

Well, we were able to get full-field footage of most of the qualification and elimination matches, and have uploaded them all here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...-XvX6DwRtaiYLU. Unfortunately, our camera battery died about halfway through alliance selections, and we weren't able to record opening or closing ceremonies. Enjoy.

Thanks, Ryan and 1676. Always much appreciated.

I think I still need a day or so to recover, but I really want to pop in here and thank everyone involved for making Mayhem as good as it could be for us this year. So many people stepped up to save the day for us in many ways, through some stumbles and upsets on the event side, and I need the chance to give them the credit they're due.

I will try my hardest not to get too feelsy, but 1923 lost a student early Friday morning. This event was really, really hard to get through for all of us. The support we got was absolutely unreal and is one of my favorite things about the FIRST community. Thank you.

First of all, 869 showed up Friday with a contingent of 20+ volunteers for setup. We'd planned this all along, as a bonding activity for our two teams - but not many MidKnight Inventors were up to the task that day. Didn't faze our friends at all, and I want to thank them so intensely for getting the venue together. We absolutely would not have had things together for our teams coming in that evening if not for PowerCord.

After learning about a hiccup with our pit power distribution, Jeff, George & Corey from 869 jumped right into action with a new gameplan and we made it work. Thank you guys for solving that problem - to Katie & my mom for running out to Lowe's at the last minute - and, of course, to our teams, for being respectful with their charging practices and not drawing too much power from their pitmates.

Our volunteers were excellent as always, coming from near & far to help out - 1923 students and parents as well as friends from other places. You guys rock.

More than anything, thank you to all who were present during the opening ceremonies as we honored Aditya. We're getting through this together, as a MidKnight Inventor family, and your support means the world.

As always, if anyone has event feedback please feel free to post it here or send to midknightmayhem@gmail.com - we value your input on making next year even better.

Tentative 2016 Date: June 25th. Hope we see you there!

225 had a great time at Midknight Mayhem. Every year, it is my favorite of all the MAR off-seasons we attend. It's super well run, and everyone is really friendly.

Big thanks to 1640 for picking us and 193 for rounding out the alliance! We almost pulled it out :).

A big congratulations to the winning alliance of 303, 316, and 3142 -- you guys all rock. Props to 316 for increasing their maximum can stack height for the off-season.

Looking forward to seeing 316, 1640, 1923, 2590, and 5254 again at IRI in three weeks!
