There is, but I believe it is being redone. I only have the old logo, but I will upload it to the group when I get it.

Terrific news coverage! I hope it brings out a lot of the public to watch and be inspired! Wish I could be there!

So I drove down to Western today, taking route 40 and getting onto Maiden's Choice, and it would appear the entrance to Kenwood Avenue is unmarked at least from Maiden's Choice. So I spent an hour driving around, enduring basically the Rashomon of highway directions, until I finally end up driving down an unmarked road. There was Western. So. Anyone coming in from Maiden's Choice and using mapquest, be on the lookout.

Edit: This refers to driving without hitting the beltway. So if you're just taking 695, disregard.

Directions to Western School of Technology for Battle O' Baltimore:

The Western School of Technology is located in Catonsville just inside the Baltimore Beltway (I-695) on the southwest corner of the city. Whether you are coming from the North on the outer loop or the south/east on the inner loop, you will take exit 12, Wilkens Avenue. The only trick is that the most direct route to the school is an access road that is shared by the ramp to the freeway. Coming from the North on the outer loop, take the sign for Exit 12 BC and turn right onto Wilkens Avenue, looping back under I-695. Immediately after the underpass, turn left at the sign indicating the entrance to I-695 North, but instead of turning left to get on the highway, continue straight on the access road. Western is about a half-mile on the left. Coming from the south and east on the inner loop, exit onto the second exit 12 (Wilkens Avenue West). At the end of the ramp, turn left onto the access road and proceed about a half-mile to the school.

Wow. I just saw the news video of the three teams promoting BoB. The students did a very good job presenting the robots and telling about the event. The news reporter was really estatic. Hope to see a crowd of people there, maybe? :yikes:

Re: Battle O' Baltimore-August 11
 

I would like to thank the folks of 1983 for graciously letting 1885 share the fun with them.

The Alliance Captain, Team 25, made a wise choice. Ben's defensive driving was simply superb all day (and 888 were no slouches either!).

Thank you everyone for a fun day.
