I'm finally somewhat lucid after a 14-hour train ride and a day of work, but I am seriously glad that I came up to MKM. It was a lot of fun to catch up with old MAR (and close-enough-to-MAR) friends on their home turf, see some robots we don't see down south, and just see some hard-nosed friendly competition!
Congrats to all eight teams involved in the finals on a heck of a fight, and to all 32 teams for keeping them running to make 4-team alliances happen. (I know from experience that this is not a given at off-season events!) The Mayhem Ball was a great touch too--just enough of a touch to make teams switch strategies without really breaking the game. Oh, and thanks to 225 for the box of pneumatics for everyone.
Hopefully, I can sway enough 4901ers to make a run up there next year. It's worth 14 hours on the train for sure!
