I will be webcasting PARC this year and am the DJ. If there are any song requests, please send them to me.
Is anyone interested in recording the event? I will be recording the event in multiple formats.

Do to a change in jobs and relocation of my friend, I no longer have access to a video switcher(chroma-keyer). If any attending team has one and would like to bring it to the event let me know. As of now I am also in need of a person to operate a camera for the field (XL-1s).

Why did you change the date???

Team TRx-145 looks forward to coming every year in May, unfortunately there are some big events that we have to attend this year on the June date.

It is a great event, hope you have a great turnout.

Our reason for changing the date was due to championships being later in the year. We feared that teams who attended championships wouldn't have their robots back by the typical Mother's Day Weekend.

13 Days till PARC XIV

[camtunkpa]

Official word on PARC 14:

Hi All,

It is with deep regret that I must inform you that PARC is cancelled for June 4, 2011. As of 8:00am today, there are only eleven officially registered teams. It will not be feasible to schedule a tournament for so few teams. For those of you who have sent checks for registration and sponsorship, I will return them before the end of this week.

To those of you who registered as volunteers, thank you. I wish circumstances were different and that your planning and dedication would be rewarded anyway.

It's sad to see PARC cancelled for this year. We hope we can come up with something in the future. Thanks to all the teams and volunteers who have supported us in the past.

Wow this is pretty sad to hear. I was just wearing my PARC 2000 t-shirt at Monty Madness. Is there any way to help out for next year starting now?

Find some teams committed and willing to travel over 2.5 hours to visit us!

It is unfortunate especially since we have been the longest running mini regional. PARC was started in 1998 "Ladder Logic" and has been running annually since then. Over the last few years attendance has dropped off due to a variety of reasons outside of our control.

Also two of the three local neighboring teams (84 and 284) have gone way of the Dodo bird this year so that means we have two less attendees. These two teams were also our sister teams as the three of our teams are what became of team 143 as shown below at the first PARC.

Unfortunately being in a rural area and with the increase of mini regionals over the years many teams opt to stay local.

I am so sorry to hear that there will not be a PARC this year. The Firebirds <3 PARC and really wanted to come, but June 4th is the day of our graduation, so we couldn't make the trip this year. I hope this year is just a bump on the path and PARC will be back and better than ever next year.

[Mr MOE]

MOE is also sorry to hear that PARC will not happen this year. June 4th is the date of graduation for The Charter School of Wilmington, which is the school where a signifiicant number of students on the MOE team attend.

PARC and the Tigertrons was the first off-season experience for our MOE team back in 2000. It is the role model for the Duel on the Delaware and many other off-season events. I hope that this is but a slight delay in the continuation of a long history of great PARC events.

Regards.

John
