Any updates on the team list?

10 days!

Re: 2008 MARC Registration Now OPEN
 

You can add 279 and 2194 to the list. However, I have been informed that 2194's school has been affected by the floods in the Midwest and they have not gotten back to me wether or not their robot has been damaged. As it stands, 27 teams and 2 pre-rookie teams. Not bad for a second year event.

Count us in!

The floods fortunately only covered the other half of Moraine Park Technical College...unfortunately as well... but can we blame our completely worn out Toughbox transmissions on the moisture?!? ...:( ...:(

Hey, my TEMPEST 240 compadres, can I show up at the event in the afternoon? I work at the Dixie Hwy. McDonald's in the mornings those two days.

Also, Teams, feel free to visit the McDonald's on Telegraph! (or Dixie Hwy. if you want to say hi!)

Re: 2008 MARC Registration Now OPEN
 

Man, this looks like an awesome team list. I want to come up Saturday morning and check this thing out!

Re: 2008 MARC Registration Now OPEN
 

Sorry if I missed where it was posted, but is there going to be a team social this year? If so when? Thanks.

Re: 2008 MARC Registration Now OPEN
 

Team social Friday night at the high school.

Re: 2008 MARC Registration Now OPEN
 

The social was a lot of fun last year. There are a few guys that we need to play some Kemps with, and we've got a new card game to teach anyone who wants to learn.

I just got back word from my supervisor, despite a little scheduling conflict I'm getting time off from my summer at Cedar Point to come announce at MARC. It's going to be a fun time, I can't wait to return to FIRST here, seeing all these awesome teams competing.

Also, just out of curiosity, is the social team-based or individual-based? I haven't gotten word yet if the Chickens are attending as a team but I know I'd definitely like to stop by.

Re: 2008 MARC Registration Now OPEN
 

Anyone is free to go to the social.

I want to talk to you about Cedar Point sometime if I catch you.
