Do you want data? From what events? Our 10000 lakes or Duluth Gitchi? Number of matches 3 seems low.

2052 and 3130 will very likely be the teams to beat.

Do you have one for DPR The rules stating that you can't select another alliance captain should make things interesting. I would guess both 2052 and 3130 will be captains so that number 1 pick will be an interesting one.

Bogus alliance selection prediction and eliminations prediction:
*alliance captains cannot inter-pick, picks are 1-4, 1-4, 4-1

1) 2175, 2052, 2169, 4778 SF
2) 4536, 2987, 2823, 2498 W
3) 3042, 2502, 1816, 3883 SF
4) 3130, 4607, 2846, 3184 F

Bogus is correct. I suspect our team to be in the mix.

Looking forward to MRI! Even though I won't be able to be there the entire day, I know we have a number of GOFIRSTers who will be training in a variety of roles (no, not as safety glass table attendants ). I look forward to seeing many of Minnesota's premier teams take the field once more-- I'm sure the elimination rounds will be very interesting!

[jajabinx124]

Looks like the team list was updated for MRI. 2169 is no longer on the list and 4549 the iron bulls were added.

I just posted the tshirt design for the 2016 MRI on Chief Delphi. This was a product of the FireBears media team and is the first time we have done an event tshirt for the MRI.

At the MRI, anyone can order the size, style (short or long sleeve), and color (Ash Grey, Cornsilk and Sky) and the tshirt company will make the shirt for you as you watch.

Also, a new addition to our food offerings this year will be mini-donuts! You will be able to bring back enjoyable memories of those carefree days at the Minnesota State Fair as you snack on mini-donuts and watch exciting robot action.

In addition, our media team will be conducting team interviews, Team 2052 - The KnightKrawlers will be doing live webstreaming of the on-field action, plus we will be awarding $1000 in scholarships to two 2017 seniors.

Of course, that is the off-field action. The on-field action will be extra exciting as we have most of the top teams in the state putting them into a competition against each other for the first time this season!

Only 9 more days to wait!

This is going to be a problem. I have no self-control when it comes to mini donuts.

You aren't the only one. I might have to leave my wallet at home to avoid them!

Instead of a dance song break I sense an FTA vs. LRI mini-donut eating contest.
