So, show up, watch or participate, and have fun.
Near Chaos Robotics is bringing hopefully three robots to the show.
Ruiner, a 60lb angled bar spinner
Apollyon, a 12lb 15mph wedge with some horns and a flamethrower
CSGIC, a spinning top of doom.(built by my teammate, and head honcho of the fabrication group on team 675)
