Unfortunately MARS Team 1523 will not be attending. We had conflicts with students taking the ACT, others volunteering for a special Halloween Event at our local Science Museum, and we did not have enough notice to get proper travel permission from Jupiter High. In addition the team discovered at a recent community event that the frame of our 2006 robot is bent (probably from hauling it around lying down in the back of an Expedition) and our catapult arm is currently jamming on balls.
Wish we could be there. Good luck to all participating teams and hope everything goes well for the organizers. (Like having no monsoon rains, hurricanes ...etc.!)
