M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

[VexisDarksteele]

Woah... There are so many great teams attending this! I thought an off-season event would be much smaller. Goes to show just how out-of-the-loop I am. ._." *Shrinks back into her corner of shame.*
We're looking forward to competing alongside everyone again, and to see some other states' teams and machines.

Good luck everyone!

[Travis Hoffman]

So...who's getting excited for MARC?

I'd like to ask Michigan folks to supply the wide/long/square/etc. info for the team list below. Probably wouldn't take long, just like the IRI list.

For the record, Team 48's bot is long (34.5" frame) with pneumatic stinger and ability to overhang. To see how much it can overhang, watch this 80's soundtrack cheese-fest - http://youtu.be/Z1wugVzdhG0?t=4m11s. We have not tripled in competition but are very much looking Forward to doing so! We feel we can either be the triple train's "engine" or "caboose" in part of a double-stinger attempt.

2 teams are out (us and another team). We were replaced by 217 and another team. Really upset that we don't get to go. I was looking forward to finally competing against some Michigan teams.

2604 is the other robot

2604,70,494,107,815,830,910,2137,2834,2851,3357,35 38 are wide
217,123,191,862,1504,3302,3539 are long

Thanks for replying. So, who else dropped out? I searched for this in MARC related posts and could not find it.

Thanks for the info! I updated the list. Folks, please help me fill in the remaining information.

[Bjenks548]

Long 240 ,470?, 2612
Wide 302
Jump drive, 308
If anyone wants to do the research I'm sure between the blue alliance and the FirstinMichigan youtube page I'm sure you could find the rest

2137 is wide but can switch between 4WD or 6WD by raising or lowering a center set of wheels. With all 6 wheels down, we can hang another 8" or so off the end of the bridge.

It was in page 3 of this thread.

[TNT280Staff]

280 long

[Zebra_Fact_Man]

Both 470 and 3175 are wide bots.

<Source: competed against 3175, and have friends on 470.>

[Clinton Bolinger]

240 - Long
302 - Wide
1243 - Wide
2832 - Wide
3096 - Long
3547 - Long Mecanums (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/37509)
3641 - Long
4395 - Wide

That should cover the rest.

3547 does not have Mecanums. We switched to Omni wheels after our first competition. We have a system where we can switch between Omni and traction.

Fixed.

Also, as I'm unfamiliar with the term (sue me), what is a "jump drive" where 308 is concerned? Is it some kind of nonadrive/octanum/freaky thing?

I watched some of their matches and they seemed to operate essentially as a standard skid long bot.

[Clinton Bolinger]

308 can toggle between traction and mecanums.

They are technically a long bot, but it doesn't mean you can turn them side ways and push them up the bridge.
