I would like to thank all the teams and volunteers for making MARC what I believe to have been a huge success. I was a little worried at first with the dramatic increase in team participation but because of the teamwork and cooperation of all the teams and volunteers we made it through it very smoothly.
A couple special thank you's:
Dan Swando: thank you again for your hardwork and desire to make this event run correctly. I heard there were a couple tough issues on the field and people have told me you made the right calls. EXCELLENT WORK as always.
Mark Koors and Ronnie Tront: Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication in the flawless running of the compture equipment/programs.
KOKO you did a great job with queing. This was my biggest concern coming into the event and I can not say thank you enough for the work you did to make that work so well.
Team 830469: Although you were not on the official participation list, thank you for allowing your robots to go through the beatings they took to help out a couple pre-rookie teams. Also 830, thank you for volunteering to help out refing and basically anywhere I needed it.
To all the teams that came, your willingness to help out each other is one of the things that I keep getting comments about. This is why MARC is able to become a bigger event. Please keep up the good work and spread the word.
NEXT YEAR SAME TIME, SAME PLACE, AND 45 TEAMS.
Again thank you everyone for making this event great.
