Re: MTTD 2015 - Registration

Don't get me wrong I dislike this game as much as the next guy, but many teams no longer have their 2014 robots. Just curious if and how you planned for this, because I can imagine a slightly lower then usual attendance for this event.

We sent out survey's and got attendance #'s, we'll have about the same amount of robots as we did last year or more.

We do know there are a few teams that we won't get back this year due to switching the game but we also had teams that would not come for the 2015 game. So we picked 2014.

Re: MTTD 2015 - Registration

Yeah I'm with Marcow on this one. I love the 2014 game and our robot is still semi-together enough for demos but I know lots of teams have completely scavenged their robots (and ours is no longer calibrated for shooting into the proper height of the goal).

Re: MTTD 2015 - Registration

Along with our 2014 robot "Beca" (who has been faithfully doing demo's for over a year), 1678 will be building 2 additional robots for Madtown Throwdown!

Our students are excited for some fun off-season projects and good drive practice at Madtown Throwdown Throwback.

Huge thanks to RC and the rest of the teams that are making this happen!

-Mike

Re: MTTD 2015 - Registration

RC, great move on this. Excited to watch this year's MTTD!

Also, while I understand some teams may be concerned about not having a robot together for this, remember that this is an off season event that someone else is organizing for you. Additionally, as 1678 is doing, it serves as an awesome opportunity to rebuild old bots or make new ones to train students in a way they'd actually be able to compete with their finished product.

Trust me, those of us who can't attend are definitely jealous.

There are also 4-5 other CA offseasons playing the 2015 game, so teams have plenty of options.

Re: MTTD 2015 - Registration

This is an awesome decision, honestly. 2014 is a much more exciting game and definitely something I would be more willing to attend than a 2015 game, even if I had to fix up an old robot to do it. If only MTTD were on the east coast, I'd so be there!

2015's a terrible game; good on 1323 and 1671 for accepting that and moving on.

Re: MTTD 2015 - Registration

You guys just gave TBA a huge headache. I'll see how hard it is to special case MTTD...

Funny thing is, I supported playing the 2014 game in my feedback!

Re: MTTD 2015 - Registration

Wohoo! 971 is really excited to come play. Thanks RC and crew for making this happen. We've already stripped down Mammoth and had the superstructure re-welded to fix all the welds that broke from last year. We will be bringing 2 Mammoths and most likely our third robot from last year as well.

Our team has benefitted enormously from building another robot specifically for the Throwdown every year. I'd highly recommend building one. The longer timeframe allows us to focus on teaching the students and getting them ready for the hectic build season. Throw together an inbounder in a couple meetings and come join the fun!

Sure for pre rookie teams we'll do $100 for registration. Please email me if you need anything else.
