The Schedule for the day will be as follows:

1:00 Alliance Picking
1:30 Milwaukee Vex League Kickoff

4:00 Event End
Those who have been to a robotics event know that this schedule is tentative and we will stick as close to it as possible. We very easily could be done before 4:00
The Kickoff event will be held at 1:30 no matter what. We will be unveiling the new game for the Milwaukee Vex League and will have the playing field available for teams to look at and interact with. Even if you don't have a mentor team competing, come see the kickoff event and stay for the finals! At that time, we will also be revealing the League schedule as well as information about the Milwaukee Vex Challenge in December. To get your minds going though, here is a small hint:
Multiple Milwaukee Madness may make moving more manageable.
You can't put all of your eggs in one basket.
Good balance is key, but sometimes you must tip the scales in your favor.
We hope to see you on Saturday! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at
