Registration will open Monday, August 25. In order to keep with our tradition of every-team-plays-in-eliminations, there will be a cap of 32 teams. Make sure you sign up soon!
(There's also the matter of the Early Bird Discount for registering in the first two weeks)
We're excited about some changes we're making for the 2014 edition. They include:
-We're bringing judged awards back to the event, to spread the word of FIRST, to generate a pool of judges we can use for district events, and to give students practice presenting their accomplishments to others.
-There are six food trucks scheduled to appear, up from three last year. We've heard your concerns about the long wait times; this will allow for more options as well, including a vegetarian-only truck! Furthermore, these fine people are donating a portion of their proceeds back to the event.
-Upgraded kids' zone: the awesome area 1741 supplies will be supplemented with great interactive technological activities.
-Improved spectator experience: we will have a series of Robo Show-inspired pre- and post-match breakdowns throughout the event.
Of course, we'll also have the traditional activities: a scholarship for an outgoing senior (
