We look forward to seeing all of the locals show up and hopefully some new teams will be joining us. We will be using the ES gym and the ES cafeteria (right across the hall), so there will be plenty of space for teams, robots, and spectators.
We would appreciate any volunteers from the teams that will be attending this event!
We will have a full concession stand open throughout the day, with possible local lunch specials available. For more information, please contact Event Organizer Jonathan Ryan at [email protected].
