Re: Michigan Off Season Event! The Big Bang! hosted by TnT 280 and The Taylor Sportpl

The MARC did adopt a static defense set and the defenses were the same for both red and blue. The thinking for this can be outlined as follows:
1. Less down time between matches keeping the cycle for the event smoother. (It did accomplish this)
2. Since Monroe Public High School Gym is not air conditioned (yet) the safety of the field reset with respect to the potential temperature was considered. The gym while getting toasty never did become beyond toleration as additional fans were purchased for the event and made for a good flow through of air.
3. Since the MARC is an off-season event many teams use it to train new drivers. Providing a consistent field would help new drivers develop over the course of the event and not have to change strategy but be concerned with skill enhancement.
