MidKnight Mayhem II - June 28, 2014

[Libby K]

Hello again!
Team 1923: The MidKnight Inventors from West Windsor-Plainsboro, NJ are excited to announce the return of:



THE MAYHEM RETURNS!
When: June 28, 2014
Where: West Windsor-Plainsboro HS North
90 Grovers Mill Rd, Plainsboro NJ

Just like last year, the cost will be $200 per team.
(Send us a message if you're interested in bringing a pre-rookie.)
Event Website here, with pages for team and volunteer registration.
Once you've filled out the team registration info, we'll contact you regarding payment.

In addition to up to 36 teams playing Aerial Assist, we'll be hosting FLL and FTC demos, as well as local groups that aren't just about robots. We are also hoping to host a team social, and some other fun activities, either Friday night before, or Saturday night after awards. (More info on that when we have it.)

If you have suggestions or recommendations for us, please feel free to leave them here in this thread, or email MidKnightMayhem@gmail.com. We're also available on Twitter and Facebook.

We hope you'll help spread the word - last year we had a few teams from out of town, and we're happy to help them make accommodations. We want to make this a big, loud robot party here in Jersey, and we hope you'll be a part of it!

Can't wait!

Last year's event was fantastic, 150% coming back again. I can't resist puppies AND robots.

[Akash Rastogi]

This was such a great event last year. I look forward to being there again as well!

[DonRotolo]

Yes, puppies AND robots, who can resist?

It was indeed a great event last year and I am hoping we can attend this year again.

I was going to reply, but then I read the comments and realized I was going to say exactly this.

[Ben Martin]

I'll echo everyone else--Very well executed last year. Great venue. Hope to be there again.

I propose 1932B or 21923. Or at least the vacant 1924.

We were told that we'll have to use a team # that already exists for 2014 to be able to play them in the FMS... Otherwise we would absolutely be 1924. The same will apply for our practice robot's appearance at Monty Madness.
