Thanks to 1732 for picking us! Also thanks to 1023 and 2673 for being great alliance partners.

And a big thanks to the organizers of MARC and all the volunteers...once again you've put on a great event. We look forward to it every year.

BX would like to thank 1732 for digging way down in the rankings and putting their faith in us. Our veteran drivers only drove 2 qualifying matches so that we could show we could climb. Other than that, we rotated rookie drivers through so that they could gain experience. We didn't have them climb because of the complexity of the climb. So, we are very thankful that you picked us and we greatly enjoyed working and cheering with you. Your team is energetic, and was so fun to sit next to.

Also, huge thanks to 1718 for such a strong performance! Thanks to 2673 for keeping our elimination streak undefeated! You all were great to work with.

BIG BIG thanks to Steve & Kyle for putting in so much work hosting, and to Marjie for coordinating all the volunteers, and to ALL the volunteers who braved the heat and storms to help make this event fun for all!

It was a lot of fun to see all of our robot friends again!

Hello all!

Materia Oscura Team 4478 wants to give a big thanks to all of our alliance partners. First of all, we are so grateful that the Benzene Bots accepted our invitation to join our alliance, since we attend the west campus of the International Academy and your team is based out of the east campus of the same school. It was so nice to actually be able to work with our fellow classmates that we don't get the chance to work with in school and I really feel like over the course of this season we have gotten to know your team better.

Also, our alliance would not have been complete without both the hard work of the Frog Force and of Metal and Soul. You guys did a wonderful job! Thank you so much for accepting our invitation.

This has been an unforgettable experience for our rookie team, as we hardly expected to be in eliminations in the first place. We'd like to thank the organizers of MARC for doing such a great job with the tournament this year.

Thank you!

MARC 2013 was great. It was well run and I never noticed any problems. It was my first competition to drive the robot at, and a load of fun!

It was also cool to talk to new people!








(and I finally got to see Koko Ed in person!)

EDIT: Does anyone have a copy of the Match Schedule?

Once again, the organizers and volunteers put on another great MARC event. A great big thanks goes out to all of them! Summer would not be the same without MARC (and it’s nice warm gymnasium)! Team1732 would like to thank our alliance partners 1718, 1023 and 2673, who played their roles perfectly. 1718, your firepower was truly impressive. 1023, your rock solid climb and dump (plus autonomous scoring) was a godsend. 2673, you guys came through with perfect autonomous and hanging and smart, well executed defensive play. Also, big thanks to Dan from 469 for helping us (and many others) diagnose our control issues on the field. It was so much fun to see and play with our friends in Michigan once again!

Team 70 would like to congratulate Team 1732 The Hilltoppers and their alliance partners 1718,1023 and 2673 on their win at MARC!
We survived the pestilence of fish flies, the fire hot gym and the downpours and floods but we couldn't survive the onslaught of your terrific play.

We would like to thank our alliance partners 245, 815 and 3175 for all their cooperation and valiant play!

It was great to see so many of the original plank members (9 of the 12) in the eliminations!

A HUGE Thank You to everyone who worked so hard to make this event so great! We are looking forward to next year.

Thank you!

Ditto here! Last season IA West students (then part of Team 67..HOT) gave us the confidence to comeback and this year you guys have inspired us to do better. Someday we hope to have Team 469 and you guys (Team 4478) as our alliance..it would be a blast!

We extend our thanks to Team 468, Dan Kimura and the team members to help us fixing cRIO and Radio issue. Thanks to Team 67 for the radio, without which our bot would not have been on the field on the 2nd day.

Thanks to MARC volunteers and organizers!

Not officially. The rankings I posted from friday night were from the FMS, whereas for Saturday I only have the match results from the frcfms twitter feed (an unofficial source). The standings derived from the twitter match results don't match up with the alliance selections. I looked at the match result possibilities, but I can't say for sure which twitter results were different from the actual results.

I'm not sure how accurate these are, but The Blue Alliance has all the match results: http://www.thebluealliance.com/event/2013marc

Hm, hadn't thought of checking there! Looks like Twitter results though; match #1 was changed to a Blue Win post-tweet.

I can already see the results of match 37 and match 53 are wrong.

Did 191 win both of those?

Yes we did.
They forgot to add in 1023's dump to the score for 37 and the score was reversed for 53.
