Good luck everyone, and see you all soon.

And I'm excited about finally getting to play against Michigan teams.

We are still doing a silent auction and I am asking every team to supply at least one team t-shirt for the auction. If you would like to contribute other things to the auction that would be greatly appreciated. The shirts will be seperated into groups and be a part of the auction.

I put a thread on CD asking for teams that went to the Niles District to check their totes because a rookie team had a tote of theirs taken. This tote had most of their teams spare parts in it (including 2 new AMSuper-shifters). This team started right before Christmas break and to loose all those parts is very stressful. A mentor from another team e-mailed me and gave me a terrific suggestion: "Call out to all the teams that are attending MARC this year and see if they could contribute some spare items for this team" I think this would be great and something that we could collect not only for that team but for incoming rookies. If this is something that your team is willing to particpate in, then please bring spare parts and I will collect and distribute.

Thank you for considering doing this. I am sure these teams will greatly appreciate anything that we can give them.

Can't wait to be back at MARC! This is my third time going and it's been great every year.

The silent auction is always fun - last year, 1732 donated a robot-themed movie basket. Hopefully we can top that!

I particularly liked the cheese basket your team donated a couple years ago. I didn't win it at the auction but boy did it look good.

I hope it had some sausage too!

This is going to be so awesome... it's getting closer! First MARC ever, for me. :3 We got some competition, I'll be looking forward to seeing all the great teams there!

Thought I would have some fun with Marc just like I did with IRI (sorry if your team isn't listed I probably don't know them very well).

Alliance Captain 1st Pick 2nd Pick 3rd Pick
1 67 469 308 2137
2 33 3098 862 3357
3 3322 51 910 503
4 2337 1023 2851 240
5 1718 1918 830 3641
6 123 48 2834 1243
7 494 70 1732 1504
8 68 245 3539 2832

First seed sees our state champions back together. Second seed has the other 4 ball auto with 3098's key shooting and 33 fender shooting. 3rd we see 2 strong key shooters with a 3rd wide. 4 gives us another 2 key shooters. 5 sees a CMP dueo back together. 6 gives our first out of stater (sorry don't know them too well). 7 gives us the 70 and 494 finally together. Truck town (dark horse of Newton) and 245 (state finalists) taking a risk on a long bot in 3539 with a ton of upside if they can triple. Just some fun to see just how scary these alliances could end up!

6 gives our first out of stater (sorry don't know them too well).

You will get to know us soon enough.

Ask alliance captains 2-5; they were with us on Galileo.

Don't worry, Travis. As we learned the last two years (finalist and winner as 3rd robot), its sometimes ok to be the unknown non-Michigan team at MARC.

Brenden, is there a reason you are predicting 548 to miss elims all together?

It appears you are on the invite list...

He was being modest...

There would seem to be little doubt that 548 will be playing in the afternoon!

I would actually be surprised if they weren't at least finalist. That robot is spectacular.

I did the same thing in the IRI thread, I don't like judging my own team so its just easier to keep us off the list. We'll see how our new drive team does, coach has had 2 matches this year, brand new driver, our starting manipulator (he's a sophomore), and a hp that has plenty of matches under his belt. I'm sure they'll do well enough to make elims!

So many good teams! Really looking forward to it!
