We're up to 21 registered teams for the September 20
Mahoning Valley Robotics Challenge and looking for a few more to round out the field. $100 for a great day of friendly competition!

NEOFRA is hosting a charity food drive at the MVRC to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley. We encourage spectators to bring non-perishable food items and drop them off at the food donation table when they arrive. The most-needed food items are peanut butter, cereal, canned fruit and vegetables, tuna fish, dry pasta, and macaroni and cheese. Come watch the competition and help out a great cause!
AndyMark has graciously donated some awesome prizes for teams who get into the charity act - start gathering your donations now! Final contest terms will be announced shortly.
We are still accepting volunteer registrations. We'd like to further round out our referee crew - the volunteer registration link can be found here -

We just secured a very cool sponsorship from LED3 (
www.led3.us) in nearby Canfield, OH. I think teams and visitors are going to be VERRRRY pleased by the video system.
The Youngstown State University College of STEM is also a huge supporter of our event. NEOFRA teams very much look forward to growing our partnership with this great local institution.
Finally, see the attachment for a sneak peek at the final prototype for our MVRC winner/finalist trophy. We think the look and material are both rather unique among offseason competitions.
