2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

[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

[Steve Ketron]

No, if they are attending the event with your team, then that is all we need.

So, did you get those door jambs out of the way and where can i find a schedule?

[Steve Ketron]

at a cost of $1400 to remove one set of door jambs, you can be surprised what I can fanagle. Yes the door jambs are removed. The schedule and robot route/floor plan was emailed to all main contacts. I will see if I can email it again. Please be advised that the red and blue areas are actually reversed.

By the way, I was told that Wilbur is providing me with roughly 230 pounds of meat. Hopefully this will be enough.

[JoeyTNT280]

May I get a copy of that email as well

[johnr]

Oh jeez, did you have to go and give it a name? And did it have to be Wilbur,the smartest, most talented pig in the world.

How do the robots always know it's competition time?

First, one of our dewalts unscrewed itself. That's never happened before.

Next, our polycord broke. That's happened once.

Next, our shooter chain master link disconnected itself. That's never happened.

Then, after I leave, I get told that "the right drive stopped working".

What the heck Mr. Robot? What'd we ever do to you? Feeling neglected from the month long break between competitions or something?

Everyone knows that you're supposed to feed your robot and take it on a walk once per month!

Anyhow, is this being webcast? Seeing an all star lineup of robotics teams play a little more Lunacy (though my money is on 67) would be pretty cool.

I would save your money. We are sending a very inexperienced team down to MARC, due to some unfortunate circumstances.

My money would be on 910. They have a really good robot and they always have a good showing in this event.
