Send it as soon as possible, the earlier we get it the better.

What day is the absolute last day you can receive it though?

[Akash Rastogi]

Is there any update on if any teams dropped out or something? Could you jus tlet me know if we're listed on the wait list? Thanks.

So Monty is back for another year? I might be able to find time to roll out of bed and drive down the road to the event.

But in all seriousness, I am glad to see Monty is back and I look forward to another great event. I will be there and if you are within 100 miles, you should definitely make it down.

(wow, it has been a while since i've posted on cd)

So yeah we definitely are not going. Our mentor said it would be near impossible to get the paperwork for NJ. We need it because apparently the robot is our school's property. Although it sucks we cant compete we can still visit and volunteer.

Yeah even if you are not competing if you can get there I would suggest you do. It will still be a great time and there will be a lot of cool people there. And it will give you a chance to cheer for your favorite teams there ^_^.

I am not entirely sure, but I do know it is not something you submit for- one of our mentors won it last year, and while he was certainly deserving of the award, the team had no idea he was going to win it!

As far as I can remember the judges talk to and observe teams at the event and see what they have to say about their mentors. From that, they start to form their decision on the Woodie Flowers Jr. award.

I have a feeling those involved with the planning of Monty would have more information than I do. I hope this helps.

I sadly won't be able to attend Monty this year, I have a meeting with some filmmakers or a project I am working on. I wish I could be there though, best of luck to all teams.

Aroon, might??? I know you're gonna be there.


@jayjaywalker3 - that's unfortunate but we'd still love to have some volunteers, I guess i will see you at Monty Madness right?

Most of the awards at Monty Madness are given based upon the discussions our judges have with the team members and team mentors. Each year, we've had a team of 3 to 4 independent judges and they have complete latitude to make the decisions.

Unlike official FIRST events, there is not a way to submit materials beforehand for awards (although this may change in the future for some awards).

Hey everyone just an update of how Monty is getting prepared. We are at the moment trying to get the final team list together. We still have a couple of teams we are waiting on. Another Huge thing is we still need about 70 more volunteer like seriously. This event takes a lot of volunteers to run very very smoothly as all of those people that have been to it before. So if you can make it and are willing to volunteer please do it. Heres the Link again http://www.montymadness.org/Contact%20Us.html. If you have a problem with it submitting please PM me with your info.

Also as an announcement I would like to let everyone know that we are holding a College Fair this year. So if anyone thinks they have a good contact at any College nearby or just a good college in general please PM me .

Thanks

Any open spots left? We apparently can't even go to PARC b/c of lack of available supervision Worst off season for us ever
