Being a team that is coming from CT to PA we would not be able to adjust our autonomous for this if the position of the supercell is known. I do not want to sound like a whiner but I just want to make sure everyone can compete on equal grounds.

We will discuss this and make a final decision tonight. We had previously discussed the supercell being placed in the center of the field.

Works for me. I will check back tonight

To all attending PARC. Above I had mentioned we would like to place a supercell on the field before autonomous begins. We have talked this idea over and decided the supercell would be placed in the center of the field. We will have teams vote on this option when they sign in. Teams be prepared to possibly pick up a supercell from the center field in autonomous period. An email will also sent out to team contacts adressing this idea. The field is up and just needs to be wired.

We had great fun at PARC yesterday. Thanks for 222 for running it and congratulations to the winning alliances.

At least we did prove one thing- 25 is faster to the ball than 2753 Nyeah! Nyeah!

To the teams that missed it- you missed lots of fun. See you next year.

Thanks, 222! 1640 loved PARC XII. We'd also like to thank 222 and 2753 for having us on a great champion alliance! A fun time was had by all. See you next year!

We did enjoy the center-field super cell rule. We certainly recommend it for other off-seasons.

P.S. How many states were represented at PARC this year? (We like to include that information in our media releases/announcements.) Thanks!

Ya, ya, I want a rematch with it in the center of the field!

Such fun, I would like to thank everyone that helped put this event on and 222 for being so gracious as alliance partners and hosts.

423 had a ton of fun at PARC!
Congratz to the winning alliance!

Thanks to 222 and crew for a great event.

Our oldies and newbies had a great time amd we really got the newbies hooked!

Hope we see you all next year!

I definitely liked the supercell in the middle. Watching teams ram into the center as fast as possible was great. One complaint though: I don't know how the center mark was drawn or who did it, but from the driver stations' point of view, it was definitely closer to the left of the field from the blue alliances' standpoint about half the time. I just think that a lot of the time, the ball wasn't in the center of the field, and was slightly unfair to the team that was further away.

Thanks to Teams 1218 and 145 for being such amazing partners. It was a pleasure working with you.

Congratulations to Teams 222, 2753, and 1640 for "schooling" us in the finals. You definitely deserved to win and it was great playing against you.

Deep appreciation to Scott Howell, Cliff Mock and the entire Tigertrons Crew for putting together another amazing PARC! We have not missed a single PARC since 2001 and you always put on a great show.

You are gracious hosts and fierce competitiors.

Thank you from the entire 341 crew!
