Is there any teams out there having Pre-Competition Events to test robots. If so where and when and what time. Let this be the thread to discuss this!

Charger Robotics (537) out of Sussex, Wisconsin is hosting a pre-ship scrimmage on Sunday, February 19th from noon until 4:00pm. Great opportunity to test out your robot and tweak any problems prior to shipping it.

Teams need to sign up ahead of time for the event.

Good luck!

Re: Pre-Competition Events
 

Some of the members on my team mentioned something about Somerville having a preseason competition on Feb 18th. Anyone know anything about this?

Re: Pre-Competition Events
 

Nope, but DC isn't that far. Today was the annual pre-ship scrimmage at the National Building Museum. It's really fun. We have teams from PA, VA, MD, and DC there. And it's a blast (or a realization point) depending on where you are in the building stage.
