Already in the works is a plan to get popcorn machines to supply the viewers with popcorn. Other things are in the pipeline as well.

We would like to provide a fun atmosphere for everyone attending the social and because of this I would like to ask for some feedback from teams registered, teams planning on registering, or somebody who just wants to give their two cents. Public opinion will be strongly taken into account.

This is what I would like to know:

Which movie should we watch?
(We would like to watch something that vaguely technology related, some members of our team suggested Back to the Future. However you are welcome to suggest any movie you want.)

Is there something we should provide that would be totally awesome, aside from popcorn?

Please mention anything else you feel is relevant to team social information. Anybody attending the event (students, mentors, volunteers, etc.) is welcome to make suggestions. Since I am in charge of coordinating the team social this year be sure to e-mail all suggestions to me, Trevor Jarrait, at t.jarrait@gmail.com

I reccomend Summer Wars as the film choice.

The director is a disciple of Miyazaki. It shows in style and substance in this film.

As per Andy Baker, "Applications for competing at IRI will be entered on the IRI website, starting May 9th, ending May 15th."

This puts their registration deadline at the same time as M.A.R.C.'s. There are a lot of teams that try and go to both events. If you are interested in attending both events please pay attention to this and don,t forget to register for them both.

Team 2834 will be attending this excellent off-season event. I will get in on the FiM website.

Although the only only official teams invited are the 12 plankowners, 37 teams have applied for MARC 2011. If your team wants a shot at competing at MARC 2011, you must submit your registration form by the May 14th deadline. Otherwise your team is in a hope there is a spot open scenerio.

Sweet! Sounds like it will be another fun tournament... AND .. I don't have a daughter's graduation party on this weekend this year! WOOT! I have to check if we used your parts.. I believe we did.. So, let me know if you want us to buy them from you or if you want replacements so I can get them ordered if needed! I'm pretty sure they got put on mini-bots!

Cool. Good to see another Wisconsin team attend. I'm pretty sure 1732 sent in our registration.

Just curious, would it be possible to see the teams who applied?

I believe that 51 is registered, and I'm looking forward to MARC, as it's turning into a premier off season event. It's fun looking back to 2007 when they started it and what it has grown to today. You won't be disappointed if your team decides to come to this event. Hope to see everyone there.
