2015 MARC Stratagy

[Allison K]

We'll have students stay in the same role for the duration of the competition, but none of them will be the same as our in season crews.

We have a small team, so we just sign up for enough offseason events that almost the entire team can serve in one of the field crew roles (driver, operator, hp) for one entire event, and a pit crew role for a different entire event.

It worked out well last year as our more reluctant/shy/timid students stayed in the same role long enough to develop confidence. Also, we don't seem to handle the chaos of rotating roles very well, so switching between events (and doing brief training beforehand) rather than rotating during works out better for us.

We have 14 students wanting to be on the drive team so we will be rotating them through qualification matches. Best performers will be selected for elimination matches. Previous drive team members will not be driving. One of the previous drive team students will act as the coach on the field. We hope this will give everyone a chance to experience the fun and excitement of driving on the game field. - John

1918 is looking forward to attending the MARC again this year. We are bringing only 5 students and two of them are graduates from last years FTC team. We will rotate them them through the rolls on the drive team. Our driver from last season has graduated and will be there as field coach. We are going to focus on practicing basic drive skills. If we make it to the playoff's the best combination will be on the field.

74 is looking forward to MARC. Our whole drive team graduated this year so we will be running a new one. I like off-season events because you can relax and just have fun.
