Wow I can't believe WIWI '15 is going to be here in just a few weeks.

WIWI '15 is going to include all of the usual great activities including:

• Tormentors 666 Mentor Robot (Compete against or with your students!)
• Guest Game Announcer - Sample what it's like to play by play on the Mic
• Half Time Human Player Game (to be announced soon!)
• Head to Head Elimination Matches & WIWI's Classic Double Elimination Bracket
• Amazing BBQ by Gus Robotics (FRC 228)

The event has a capacity of 26 spots. As of last check we have 4 spots remaining so there is still limited capacity. All sign up information, as well as the most up to date information on the event can be found here:

Any questions, drop either Rob Cormier or myself an e-mail, or post here, and we can help you out. Our e-mails are listed on the WIWI page.

We look forward to seeing everyone at our event in a few weeks!

We're still working out the details on this. We're working with production to see if this is a possibility this year. As soon as we find out, I will let you know.

Looking forward to it!
How do these pre-rookies work? Have they built their own robots for this event?

We've made arragnements with attending teams that have practice robots to lend their robots to the pre-rookies. The robots during the event will be driven and maintained by the pre-rookie students/mentors.

The Nuts and Bolts are Crosby High's mentor team (same city), so we helped them build a robot to compete at WIWI!

Looking Forward to most fun event of post-season each year - amazing roster

Maybe it is due to the GUS' pulled pork - this corn-dog nonsense is just that- GUS' pulled pork should be the FIRST food!

(for dessert don't talk about cheesecake - it is apple pi!)
