This is the first year of it. They are a little different (edubots because easier, size restraints, budget, and this is their first year), 8 weeks for build with competition immediately following (localized means travel is not as far/timeconsuming). It is an independant organization that is going to change it's name because of trademark issues.
I learned all tthis today talking with Erica, one of the 192 students who went there, and talking with the director (i'm sorry i forgot her name).
