Hm... apparently BattleBots forgot to notice the fact that March 29th is Good Friday, and March 31st is Easter. At least FIRST has an excuse (no way to shift the entire 4 month schedule one way or another), but BattleBots has only one event and one place (Orlando), while FIRST has 17 regionals over a 4 week period all over the nation.
Try scrounging up the money, building a robot, competing on 1 day (which if they run it like BattleBots, is the qualifying day where matches are not televised, are only 2 minutes, and have no field hazards), and then going home the very next day with a destroyed robot and $5000 down the drain.
Although I guess it is reassuring that no one bothered enough about the competition to check the dates.
