MARC 2010 IS OPEN

Did somebody say pig roast?? And mentor matches??

OK, before we send in the form.....just to clarify.....I understand the mentors playing but just so there is no misunderstanding........the only pigs that get roasted are animals, right? oink, oink

Mentor matches? I gotta ref MENTOR MATCHES?

But if there's a pig roast involved, OK, I guess I'll put up with some whiney mentors behind the glass.

So who stands in the question box after that match?

Not to worry! Any mentor that has been around any length of time will just whine but never go to the Question Mark with Gary!

I say let the mentors go in the question box if they want, but they have to put up another $5 charitable donation first...

Wouldn't that tend to make me want to call all kinds of controversial things, to up the ante? It is for charity after all ...

That reminds me of the poster you see in cubicles:
Answers, $1
Intellegent answers, $5
Dumb looks, free. (I have plenty of those to go around)

No guarantees but 1126 is looking into it! And by that I mean me trying to convince the mentors to let me and a few others take some students because the students definitely want to go!

I have been trying to get your team here from day one. It would be nice to see you here at our event. Maybe KoKo Ed can help convince your powers-to-be to let you come. Go KoKo

I'm still trying to get my own team to come (not likely due to the event is on the same day as graduation at Wilson Magnet High School).
Maybe my going will convince some of the Sparx mentors to let the robot go and play.

[Steve Ketron]

Just added three more teams:
548 Northville, MI Robostangs
3096 Detroit, MI Finney Highlanders
1024 Indianapolis, IN Kil-A-Bytes

That gives us 35 teams already. Boy is this years competition going to be fun. KoKo don't worry if you can't get your robot here. I'm sure we can find a spot in the mentor matches for you.

Can we prepay? Get some sort of 3 for the price of 4 deal going? I guess I would be willing to challenge calls with Gary for a good charity.

This sounds like a fun competition.

EDIT: No, 3 for 4 is not a typo. Wouldn't want to get a discount on charitable donations now would we?

Sure, if you want to ask 3 questions for $20, we'll let you.

i have a question about the mentor matches....who is the drive coach? Because I was thinking it would be kinda cool for a team member to be the drive coach....

the driver coach can be anyone you want but we like to see the students back there getting revenge at yelling at us mentors for a change in the heat of battle
