2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

[MrFixIt2719]

To clear up some confusion people had about our flyer ($150 for returning MARC teams) this is for the first year teams that came to marc pay $150

$200 for teams new to the MARC Competition means any team that did not come from the first year

[MrFixIt2719]

hey everyone the first championships just finished and it was a good one but now that the championships are over it's time to think about the off seasons and the funnest one this year will be the M.A.R.C Event it is a two day event friday and saturday for $200 for all teams that were not at the first year of M.A.R.C this year we will be having a hog roast social with video games and cards so it should be alot of fun so i am hoping alot of teams come were looking at 42 teams but if we get more offers we will try to work things out to fit more.

Is this an invite only?

[merybar]

We missed it last year, i hope we can make it this year!

[MrFixIt2719]

no this is not an invite event it's more first come first serve but like i have stated if we get past our 42 team limit we are looking at ways to expand to fit more teams but it open to anyone who wants to come so feel free to register and if you have any other qeustions just leave a post and i will check. so i hope you guys can make it

Currently there are 10 teams that said they are coming for sure with 9 returnees that said they had a blast last year. This year is going to be even better with the hog roast social. These all are excellent teams that know how to have a good time and I know this event will be a blast already. We are still looking for volunteers so if you are interested please contact Lisa. By the way 910 gave me a recommendation of a talent show with the pig roast. I think this will be an excellent idea. Any other suggestions please feel free to comment.

The teams on my list are:
240
910
1243
1504
1528
1718
2591
2719
2832
2834

for the marc event were trying to see if we can fit in a single elimination mentor match to play at the MARC event so that us mentors can show our skill behind the wheel of the machienes we help build what do other ppl think of this idea?????

[Herodotus]

I really encourage everyone to come to this event. Even in its first year just getting started it was a ton of fun, and last year was fantastic. With the pig roast and other fun stuff going on I'm sure it will be even better this year.

[Josh Murphy]

I am pretty sure that team 47 will be there this year. We had a blast the first year of MARC but the change of dates last year prohibited us from returning last year. Hope to see everyone there.

[Steve Ketron]

Received 47's registration form a couple days ago. I also just received word that 1732 will be traveling again from Wisconsin for our event. Combined with the teams mentioned earlier, I know that I am going to enjoy hosting this event. Thanks to all those teams that consistantly come back year after year.

hmm. 3119 will most likely apply. We were just looking at the prices and app information. 910 is going!! YAY!!
The mentor round will be so sweet. Our current coach will look so funny driving our bot. You think you can get some practice time into the competition also. We like to get some warm up time before the actual matches.

well of course it's a blast when you have such good teams like foley, hot, delphi, hilltoppers, chickens, martians and more martians,Dragons, Tempest, Syntax Errors, and Advanced Power, penguins, frogs, pirates and now our second home team the trojans, and many many more and hopefully with more teams it will be even better especially with the hog roast
