MAYHEM in Merrimack 2012

Chop Shop 166 is proud to announce:
MayhemInMerrimack
This will be on June 2nd, at Merrimack High School, 38 McElwain Rd, Merrimack NH.

Registration will be open March 1st.
For details, you can PM Ben (bot190), or me (klmx30302) , or email us at [email protected]

I believe this is the second year you share the date with Beantown Blitz. Our team always went to both of these events for years. Now we have to pick one of them to go to. I know these events are not easy to plan but I just wish the dates were different. It would seem that you are pulling from the same robot pool?

I know that this is an issue. Our mentors were discussing this and told me that, If we move it back a weekend we are too close to battlecry and the weekend after is graduation at our school. So we are kind of stuck at this date.

It’s a shame you’re stuck on June 2nd.
We’ve also been trying to attend both events! Maybe next year.

Registration is now open!

Looking forward to seeing you on June 2nd!

I’ve personally always enjoyed the “2v2” format of MAYHEM in Merrimack. Hopefully that is a rule change that will be implemented again for this year – running a 3v3 schedule with fewer than 24 teams would just be too frantic with out enough down time between matches.

With the “2v2” format, I’d suggest having each robot start with 3 balls at the beginning of the match, rather than 2, so as to keep the same total of 18 balls in play for the entire field. I’m not sure whether there should be just two inbounders per alliance (assuming 2v2) or if one of the teams should supply an extra human player so that there would be three inbounders per alliance… My initial reaction would be to just have two inbounders, which would help keep more balls in play, since each alliance would only be able to “hold” a total of four balls, rather than the current six.

Three more teams registered today!
This brings the total to a record breaking 22 teams!
