2007 Monty Madness

[thefro526]

Even though my team was unable to register I should still be coming to watch the competition. Last year was excellent

[Justin M.]

We're on the waitlist, hopefully we'll get a spot to compete.

If we don't get in, I'd like to be a ref or something.

We probably won't publish the nine team names on the wait list as I'm not sure they would really want us to publicize that. Last week, we updated the wait list process with a link to PARC X registration and will provide a link to the Beantown Blitz tomorrow.

We certainly want everyone to get a last Rack and Roll chance before summer by attending attend these great off-season events.

David, when can we expect a confirmation e-mail telling us that you received our volunteer request. And on the same topic, when can we expect to receive an e-mail telling us which volunteer position we received?

haha.. already grilling us less than 48 hours after the Championship Event eh? Right now, we are still very low on volunteers for the event, so I do believe that it is going to take more time before we can specifically place everyone. As for email confirmation, you should have received one immediately after completing the online application. I guarantee you we are kicking things into high gear as we get closer to the event. Just give us a little bit more time before we can contact you.

On that same note, we need a lot more volunteers! We want to make sure that this event is staffed well! Volunteers will be receiving really nice IZOD polo's again this year courtesy of PVH. Be sure to register at :

Hi Jay, I did send out an update email back at the end of March to all those who volunteered by that point. You were amongst the intended recipients. It appears you didn't get that and I'll resend it to you. I'll be sending out another volunteer-wide email in a few days.

In terms of volunteer positions, we'll have a better idea of how that falls out within a week and a half of the event. While we have quite a few volunteers signed up already, we are still in need of many more volunteers to help us make Monty Madness the quality event that everyone expects. (And of course, the volunteers will be getting new volunteer edition Monty Madness polos for their efforts.)

[KelliV]

I have been playing around with the idea of doing some pre-scouting for Monty Madness. A lot of teams will be at the event with only a drive team, so any bit of scouting information on the teams would be very helpful to them. I ask for the assistance of all the teams attending or any team that thinks they have accurate info about other teams who will be attending. If you could post the information in the following format, I can compile it and make copies to distribute to every team at the event.

Team Number:
Team Name:
Primary Robot Functions: (Tube hanger, Ramp Bot, Hybrid, Defense Bot, other)
Average # of Tubes placed in a match:
How many robots can you lift:
How high can it lift the robot(s):
Any extra notes:
