Greetings 2008/2009 VEX Robotics Competition teams,
We wanted to make sure any interested teams knew that the Pan Pacific Championship event in Hawaii is being webcast by NASA on Friday and Saturday (today and tomorrow).
You can find a link to the webcast on the
RobotEvents.com homepage (you'll see a tile on the right side that will direct you to the webcast). You can also view the event agenda/schedule on the
Pan Pacific Championship event page.
There are over 80 teams at the competition from Hawaii, California and China. The teams will play over 140 qualifying matches on the main competition fields and will also have the opportunity to enter the Robot Skills and Programming Skills Challenges. The opening ceremonies will start at 10am HST (don't forget the time difference - that's 3pm EST) on Friday followed by qualifying rounds the rest of the day. The opening ceremonies on Saturday will start at 8:30am HST (1:30pm EST). The playoffs and awards will run from 2pm - 5:30pm HST on Saturday.
Best of luck to all the teams competing at various tournaments around the world this weekend. We hope those of you able to tune into the Pan Pacific Championship enjoy the webcast - we anticipate a very high energy, exciting and entertaining competition.
Have a great weekend,
VEX Robotics Competition
