[Steve Ketron]

OH-NO!!!! Not "HAMMER-TIME" at the MARC. I thought he went out of style a decade ago. I guess good things in history always repeat

This year the MARC event is not being held at the Monroe High School gym. It turns out the gym is going to be under constrution all summer. So, hopefully teams have noticed that this year the event location is being held at Monroe County Community College. With the change of location (FOR THIS YEAR ONLY), the team limit has changed. The max team limit has changed from 36 to 29. The slots are filling up. They get filled on a first come basis (teams that attending the first year of event get automatic invite). IF I received your registration form already you are good to go. Any team interested in attending please get the forms in quickly to assure a spot.

This is an impressive line up and it looks like it's only going to get better. I think 33 made a mention of attending as well.

This is going to be intense, even as it is, and no doubt there'll be some more teams signing up. MARC is going to be even better than it was last year, and it was pretty awesome last year. Is there going to be a team social after the matches like there was last year?

Just trying to drum up additional support for yins:

*cough* Boy, MARC sure would be a highly competitive tuneup for many of the teams who just received invites to IRI. *cough*

Please add Team 2171, the Robodogs from Crown Point Indiana as a competitor. We look forward to a rematch with Team 67 who we lost against in the Curie Finals and to those Martians who we competed against in the Semifinals at West Michigan. We look forward to seeing the 2337 hammer again, the Foley Freeze, and competing against the Champs 217. Thank you for putting on this event. We are excited to be coming. We will see if our mentor team the B.E.A.S.T would like to join us up in Michigan and compete with the other great Michigan teams.

Volunteers. Are volunteers needed. If so, please let me know and I will ask if we can bring some to help out.

To late to get a hold of a sign up sheet? If not, could I get one for team 703?

[Steve Ketron]

There are only a couple spots left, so if you want to register shoot me an email at ketron@monroe.k12.mi.us and I will get you a registration form. A few teams have expressed interest and said they are having there team meetings today to discuss the possibility of coming. So, if you want to come to MARC DON'T HESTITATE get the form in today.
