Robotics teams can win tickets to an advanced screening of The Martian!
 

Team 1138 is collaborating with 20th Century Fox to host a contest for robotics team members to win admission to advance screenings of The Martian in 40 cities across the United States and Canada! The Martian perfectly demonstrates a level of ingenuity, passion, and drive that all robotics teams strive for. Check our twitter @Team1138 and website www.team1138robotics.com for more info and how to enter.

This is an awesome book, and I love the idea. I spent a full day reading it this summer while on a camping trip, and the science/engineering is very sound. Everyone should go ask their school librarian for a copy!

I agree. I read it in three nights, and it was tough to put down. I can't wait to see the movie, but I'm aware I might be disappointed after reading the book. I can't imagine how they'd capture some of the intricate details that the book gets in to.

I immediately passed the book on to my brother. I highly suggest it.

This is cool!

Reminds me of 2008 when my old team (931) was invited to an advance screening of Iron Man at a St. Louis theater -- they demonstrated a robot in the lobby. Getting FIRST teams in front of public tech events like this is great for the mission.
