Thanks Chris,
Will you have a demonstration board set up for EARLY? All of the elementaries that I am bringing to the competition have an EARLY team and one also has three squads entered in GEAR. (GEAR is associated with BEST and is an FLL type event) Edgewood ISD also is now in their second year of having middle school students compete in Botball. Team 499 has their first class of freshman with Botball experience which helped a great deal as two freshmen worked on the programming team and fit right in the mix. We are graduating twin sisters from the programming team this year which were going to be hard to replace.
