Companies like DuPont, Siemens, JC Penney, and Boeing are currently registered to attend. If attending teams know of other companies who are hiring and who might like booth space to showcase their company and positions, please have them contact John Larock (john.a.larock@usa.dupont,com).

Re: Official Information - Duel on the Delaware 10 - October 22, 2011
Hi everyone, as of right now 816 is in need of a 2011 Solenoid Breakout if anyone has a spare. Ours burnt out last week and we have been unable to find a spare and we're not sure if our replacement Breakout from AM will be here on time.

Any Official word on whether or not there will be a webcast tomorrow?

Re: Official Information - Duel on the Delaware 10 - October 22, 2011
I always love the "random" awards given out at this event, such as the "Chug and Belch" award. Last year it was the "Ball magnet" and "Bullseye Sharpshooter" awards for hitting the game announcer in the face with a soccer ball.
MOE knows how to have a great time. This was a fantastic event, as usual. Thanks to 316 and 365 for hosting a tremendous *TENTH* Duel on the Delaware! |
