M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

[Steve Ketron]

We are still doing a silent auction and I am asking every team to supply at least one team t-shirt for the auction. If you would like to contribute other things to the auction that would be greatly appreciated. The shirts will be seperated into groups and be a part of the auction.

I put a thread on CD asking for teams that went to the Niles District to check their totes because a rookie team had a tote of theirs taken. This tote had most of their teams spare parts in it (including 2 new AMSuper-shifters). This team started right before Christmas break and to loose all those parts is very stressful. A mentor from another team e-mailed me and gave me a terrific suggestion: "Call out to all the teams that are attending MARC this year and see if they could contribute some spare items for this team" I think this would be great and something that we could collect not only for that team but for incoming rookies. If this is something that your team is willing to particpate in, then please bring spare parts and I will collect and distribute.

Thank you for considering doing this. I am sure these teams will greatly appreciate anything that we can give them.

Can't wait to be back at MARC! This is my third time going and it's been great every year.

The silent auction is always fun - last year, 1732 donated a robot-themed movie basket. Hopefully we can top that!

I particularly liked the cheese basket your team donated a couple years ago. I didn't win it at the auction but boy did it look good.

All teams are allowed to have up to an additional 5 pounds on their robot. Typical off-season events don't have inspections or weight scales to know what teams have done in the off-season. So this of course is on an honesty basis.

However because I hosed my team with my really bad weight calculations this past year (20 lbs overweight), my team has purchased a floor scale. If a robots weight comes into question, then I reserve the right to have you put your robot on my beautiful new scale.

Anyone up for a T shirt trade? I'm a large and would like a 33, 217, 469, 2337, and 3098. (I can't trade for all of these unfortunatly).

[Clinton Bolinger]

I can trade a 2337 shirt for a 548 shirt.

Just so you know, I requested that each team provide a t-shirt for the silent auction. You might get the ones your looking for in their.

I can get you one of our summer Air Captain shirts if you'd like. Let me know what size...I sure love those robostang chains...

[VexisDarksteele]

Woah... There are so many great teams attending this! I thought an off-season event would be much smaller. Goes to show just how out-of-the-loop I am. ._." *Shrinks back into her corner of shame.*
We're looking forward to competing alongside everyone again, and to see some other states' teams and machines.

Good luck everyone!

So...who's getting excited for MARC?

I'd like to ask Michigan folks to supply the wide/long/square/etc. info for the team list below. Probably wouldn't take long, just like the IRI list.

For the record, Team 48's bot is long (34.5" frame) with pneumatic stinger and ability to overhang. To see how much it can overhang, watch this 80's soundtrack cheese-fest - http://youtu.be/Z1wugVzdhG0?t=4m11s. We have not tripled in competition but are very much looking Forward to doing so! We feel we can either be the triple train's "engine" or "caboose" in part of a double-stinger attempt.

2 teams are out (us and another team). We were replaced by 217 and another team. Really upset that we don't get to go. I was looking forward to finally competing against some Michigan teams.
