Re: 2011 Off Season Events
 

M.A.R.C.

Last year, 42 teams from all around the Midwest enjoyed a two-day event with a real friendly atmosphere. We are only getting better from the words that those teams are spreading. If your team wants to enjoy a very competitive off-season event with a friendly atmosphere, please sign-up for the 2011 MARC. This is a very high quality event. A top notch event needs top notch personnel. Many of the personnel that run the Michigan State Championship (MSC) fill the same roles at the M.A.R.C..

As coordinator of the Michigan Advanced Robotics Competition (M.A.R.C.) from the beginning, it has been my goal to put together an off-season competition that can compete at a compacity of IRI. Although my facility has the capacity, I feel that having a 42 team limit would make M.A.R.C. both very competitive and fun. Therefore a 42 team limit is in place in order to accomplish this while also providing each team a minimum of 10 qualification matches.

Sadly, last year I had to deny some teams admittance to the competition. To try and make a better schedule for all teams, a registration deadline of May 14th is now in place. Any registration form received after this date will only receive consideration if the 42 team limit has not been achieved. Team notification will be sent to accepted team main contacts (via e-mail) by noon May 16th. Once accepted to compete in M.A.R.C., teams will have until June 7th to submit payment. If payment is not received by this date, then your team will be removed from the participating team list and the next team on the wait list will be invited.

WHAT: OSU Roboshock

http://oregonstate.edu/groups/osurc/roboshock/

This is only the second year for this event and this year will be even better. The evert has been moved to the much larger venue of Gill Coliseum (the main backetball arena on OSU campus) and is on a Saturday (last year was a Friday). This will allow for much better audience turnout and will yield a much better event in general.

Kept this year are the tours of the OSU robotics labs and the displays by the robotics club of thier projects.

Re: 2011 Off Season Events
 

Can someone here post about Monty Madness? I want to know if there is a spot my team could grab. It's prom weekend, but I couldn't care less. I know a lot of kids would be interested.

Re: 2011 Off Season Events
 

Monty Madness is May 21st this year. 1403 handed out fliers at the NJ Regional and there is registration and contact information on the event website (http://www.montymadness.org/index-1.html). There doesn't seem to be a list of teams that are registered for this year yet, probably because it's still early.

Also, to add to this thread, Brunswick Eruption 10 is tentatively scheduled for November 5th!

EDIT: Thanks for the update, Team 1403 Mom!

Re: 2011 Off Season Events
 

Is anyone in the Northeast doing any events Memorial Day weekend this year?

I understand it's not the greatest weekend for an event, but I thought someone had it going that weekend last year. Also with a lot events moving to the same weekends this year, it would be great to have something available that weekend.

Re: 2011 Off Season Events
 

Sadly not any more.

Re: 2011 Off Season Events
