We will probably have 8 or 9 bots in the competition. I try to run the competitions as FIRST-like as possible in order to make it a good prep for students to join up with our FRC team afterward.

If you are interested in something like this and want more info, just e-mail me at gavin.wood@barstowschool.org
You can also take your teams to a local VEX Robotics Competition event in Kansas City: http://robotevents.com/robot-competi...etition-1.html.
