Team VIRUS 3547 will be there!
This was the best off-season we have ever been to. The facility is great, and TnT members are fantastic hosts.
I hope to see many MI teams there!
Easily the most fun I’ve had at a competition. Might be tough to replicate that intimate lighting again though!

(Facility lost power after an intense thunderstorm, so they stole power from the pits to run some portable lights!)
TNT280Staff I added this event to the Michigan Events page
https://www.facebook.com/groups/MIRoboticsEvents/
But I could not find a web page to reference. Can you let me know or update the post on the events page?
Thanks!
Team 3604, Goon Squad, will be there. We had a ‘blast’ and TnT did a wonderful job hosting! Highly encourage teams to attend - great event to try new drive teams and bot mecanisms. Heck maybe we play under the lights again but without the storm?
5090 will be there. Our team had a “booming” good time at the big bang last year.
Horrible puns must be a Michigan thing.:yikes:
Agreed. I’ve seen an explosion of them quite recently. 
I’m going to try and convince my team to consider this event. We haven’t gone in the past, but I would really like to go!

Is there a team limit? When’s the registration deadline?
The limit would be 48 teams
We will accept registrations up to June 24, the original deadline was going to be the 17th
We still have room and will extend the registration until June 24th. Come compete with us in a spacious air conditioned facility.
To teams considering attending:
Team 226 attended this event last year and had a wonderful time. As stated earlier, the facilities are very spacious, and provide for a delightful experience. Last year with 23 teams, each team got a chance to participate in the eliminations. This could help your team test a new driveteam in more competition like atmosphere prior to the season. This is also a great opportunity for teams to get an extra competition of practice before attending the Indiana Robotics Invitational. I would highly consider registering for this event.
We are looking for Referee volunteers for Big Bang ( we’ll feed you:D ) We have room for more teams also, we’d love for your team to come play with us.
The Lawnmowers (team 5530) is sending in registration today and looking forward to another great event! Thanks so much for hosting.
1481 The Riveters (and more Riveters with our second bot) will be there. Can’t wait!
We still have room for more teams if any team is interested just let me know. We can work out payment details later
Looking for Referees also
Teams wanting to help setup can show up around 3pm.
