2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

[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

[Steve Ketron]

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.

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

yeah me and ketron have been discussing options for this reason so when we figure that out i will post it on here for you

[Steve Ketron]

The best part about this competition is you get the see the competitiveness and continuous improvement of all teams. Not just the well known teams. Every year I am very impressed with the teamwork, upgrades, and awesome alliances formed by teams named Dragons, Tempest, Syntax Errors, and Advanced Power just to name a few. This is the reason I put on this event. To see these teams form such great alliances and push the competition to the next level.

Not to mention, I have been known to spend a little time socializing with some really great people.

[Aureanicole]

Pig roast social is for all registered teams correct?

[Steve Ketron]

Yes, If you are a registered team then you are welcomed at the social.

[Aureanicole]

And is there a permission slip or waiver needed for students attending? I apologize for all the questions, I'm planning most of this event for the team, and working from nothing
