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.

I *really* would like to go to MARC one year, but CORI hosts a Columbus, OH offseason the same weekend, and we are committed to that event.

Fortunately, it seems as if you have no lack of applicants.

Speaking of which....hey Michigan teams, if they run out of room at MARC, there's always....

You remember Ohio, right, Michigan? It's that cool state just south of you - come to Columbus, heckle Jim Tressel - you know you want to!

We love to have more out of state teams apply. For Michigan teams who didn't make it to World Championship, this is a good opportunity to meet teams from outside of Michigan.

For out of state teams who are not familiar with the FIRST in Michigan website, the following link points to where we put off season events info. More information will be added as they become available for MARC.

I can hardly wait. I'm going to start watching movies suggestions for the social that I have not previously seen this week, since after tomorrow I'll be done with AP exams and essentially be done with homework for the year.
