I'll tell my team about this we have about 4 off season events in mind and this isn't too far.

We wish we could come this year but we are moving out of the mall right now and it would be too much to put on the girls

Oh, and any surprise rules changes we should be aware of?

If she told you, then it would not be a surprise ....

I like these changes. Subtle improvement to game play, but does not change the game scoring or give any robot specialty an advantage. Well thought through.

For sure. We're giving some thought to rule changes and hope to post soon.

Team 11 registering means we are at 30 teams, six spots left. Thanks to all who have registered their teams or as volunteers so far!

We're also excited to announce that we'll be adding an FTC Outreach Scrimmage, as well as some Jr.FLL & FLL teams to the event. All four FIRST programs under one roof!

Announcement from NJ FTC:
We are very excited to announce that “MidKnight Mayhem” will include an NJ FTC Outreach Scrimmage this year. An NJ FTC Outreach Scrimmage is played with 4 – 6 Veteran Teams who form Alliances for the day with New and Prospective Team members.

In the morning, the new folks are introduced to FIRST, FTC, their mentoring-team Alliance Partner, AND the day’s special Outreach Challenge. There is time in the morning to strategize and adapt the Training Robot that will loaned to each Alliance. Veterans will work with the new people to help them modify their Training Bots to best deliver scoring elements to the tournament bots and to take advantage of special scoring opportunities.

Though driving this year’s tournament bot, the veteran teams will really depend on their rookie Alliance partner in order to win the Matches. It is an afternoon filled with fun, teamwork and hopefully with new people catching “coopertition fever”. There is still time to register as a mentoring-team or to plan to bring your new team prospects to the great “MidKnight Mayhem” event. The more, the merrier. It’s going to be a blast!

Not 100% sure yet. Hoping to!

We have tried in the past, but the school's network isn't happy with it. Working with the IT department this year to see if we can get it nailed down.

[Phalanx]

Is there going to be a Webcast?

Even though I've relocated away from MAR, I still want to watch all my great friends and teams.
