Hello fellow FiM teams!
As some of you may recall, I announced our Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum event earlier last month, and posted a teaser about a larger event in the works... Well, it's here!
On the weekend of May 4th & 5th, the Michigan Science Center will be hosting a FIRST Robotics festival in partnership with team 3641, and we are requesting the attendance of other teams from across the state! Teams will have a pit for display purposes, the downstairs stage can be utilized for presentations to a large audience, and I am currently in the process of reserving a full-size game field from FiM to set up in the attached gymnasium of the new science school for real matches to be held in. There will also be a small competition field for visitors to play and interact with; we encourage attending teams to suggest other interactive activities for the event as well. We would also like to extend our invitation to any local FLL teams that may want to set up a display table in the main entryway of the museum.
There is enough space in the atrium to fit up to 20 teams total, so please reserve your slot as soon as possible to ensure your spot. To reserve, please email us at
southlyonrobotics@gmail.com and answer these two simple questions:
Would your team prefer a full or half-sized pit? Will your robot be operational for the event?
Below is the RSVP list: Teams written in
blue have completed all requirements for registration, and teams in
orange are tentatively reserved with something incomplete. Tentative reservations will be replaced by completed teams in the event of sign-up overflow.
1. Team 3641, The Flying Toasters (South Lyon) 11.
