Re: You know you're in MAR when...

You know you're in MAR when...
...You see a robot fall off the top of the pyramid and make it to the next match.
...When you shoot a frisbee in autonomous and it hits too high, bounces back into your hopper, and you shoot it again and make it.
...When the field starts to lag and crashes for 2 hours.
...When you accidentally break the FIRST KOP wheels on another teams bot by pushing them in low gear.
...When your pit at the regional is 3 feet away from the field.
...When you hear STORMS awesome Clap and Woosh Cheer.

And you catch up! (IIRC, we caught up from like a ~2 hour backup at Chestnut Hill 2012.)

Re: You know you're in MAR when...

You know you're in MAR when it is 8PM (or later!) after an event and all you want to do is get dinner and unwind, but you are still packing the field into the PODS.

The possibilities of what us Michiganders would say in a similar thread are now running through my head.

You know you're in MAR when stress cracks in your welded frame are making your robot perform better.

Re: You know you're in MAR when...

... you get 18 matches for the same money as a regional

... your fans are closer to your robot than the drive team

... you fed yourself and two future roboters lunch for less than $25

... the pit people have safety glasses at the door and recommend you see all the pits. And the teams in the pits want to talk to you.

... you meet Don Bowers at the door and say "Wow, look at this" and he goes "Yea, I never though it would be this great" Talk about upping your game, your reach and inspiration!!!

... FIM teams look at you with respect
