I sent a question to the organizers.

Does anyone know when is FIRST Robotics Championship in St. Louis, next year ?.

I think that it can be good when both events are on the same day, it gives more opportunities for the teams to be involved, and be given leadership opportunities.

Because of the work BERSDT have been doing in St. Louis, we were given a number of passes by one of our community partners to watch the game from a suite, but because me and a couple other leaders were already committed to Engineering and Science Fair we sent 3 others in our places. They had a great time and they made great connections.

Also we took the opportunity to have 3 FIRST robotics teams from SoCal and N.Y to come on Wed to make presentations before we left to D.C, and they shared with us their lessons learned in outreach in which we shared to folks in D.C.

Having both events on the same weekend gave us a lot cross-polinization opportunity.
