Team 1370 participates in an annual Labor Day Weekend fundraiser in our hometown (Middletown, DE ... go ahead, look it up ... we'll wait ...
fine, here) called the
MOT Big Ball Marathon. This fundraiser benefits numerous worthy causes, from Habitat for Humanity to local charities and community groups. Basically, the event is a 24-hour softball game with 4 "marathon" teams and 2 fields. Each marathon team plays for 12 hours.
Team 1370 (as Middletown Robotics) will be taking on the marathon team on the Front field at Noon on August 31st. Given our incredible (lack of) softball prowess, we would like to invite any and all FRC/FTC teams to come help us play softball and raise money for a worthy cause. The team fee is $10 per player and we are trying to get each player to raise an additional $20 in donations before the start of the game.
