Location is Rock Valley College, Rockford, IL At left is the video shown at the March 21, 2013 press conference to announce the event. Local news organizations are promoting this event. You can read their articles and see video on the media page. WHO WE ARE: R2OC is a partnership of Rock River Valley US First Robotics Teams. Our goal is to provide an off season event where First Robotics teams can participate in a competition, show off their 'bots to the community, and meet others who share their robotics enthusiasm. COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Attending teams are asked to bring a children's book (or books) to the competition. In cooperation with the local Reach Out and Read Chapter, the books will be donated to Crusader Clinic. Reach Out and Read is is an evidence-based nonprofit organization of medical providers who promote early literacy and school readiness in pediatric exam rooms nationwide by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud. Crusader Clinic is a community based, non-profit community health center that serves the Rock River Valley area. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: The Rock River Off Season Competition has opportunities for interested volunteers. These range from check-in to scorekeepers to announcers. Please contact us if you can help.

The registration is $200/team. Set up/team social Friday afternoon/evening. Qualification matches in the morning (event limited to 30 teams); Elims in the afternoon. [Personally, I'd love to see the RoboLions there; I am a 1978 graduate of University City High School (back when we were the Indians). You WILL get a warm welcome!] |
