Savage Soccer - WPI VEX Robotics Tournament
Calendar: FIRST Events
ColleenShaver  
14-11-2009
Savage Soccer is a robotics program that can be used and adapted by schools and groups to help their students learn more about engineering, design, and robotics through fun competition. Savage Soccer began as a team-building activity for the WPI/Mass Academy FIRST Robotics team in 1995 and has since grown to be a national competition with events at several sites throughout the country.

One of the goals of Savage Soccer is to keep events affordable for both participating teams and those running the event. Anyone with a VEX kit can compete and event registration fees range from free to $50 per team.

Each year, WPI students work to develop a new game for the Savage Soccer competitors and organize a large tournament on campus.

The event is open to the public and free of charge. Webcast link will be available on the websitesite the day of the event.

Visit users.wpi.edu/~savage for information about this year's game and schedule for the day.
