GRITS 2015

We at 4941 are looking forward to it, some big changes are currently being made to our robot!

Thanks for the compliment, but maybe we'll start calling ourselves that after we win a few more events.

Our robot at GRITS will be almost completely different. It will either work or fail spectacularly. That's for everyone to find out. I know the suspense is already killing me...

Wicked excited to get to ref my second GRITS. It was a challenging blast last year, and I'm ready for round 2!

1261 is excited to be returning to GRITS this year (especially after such a great competition at X-Bots in Albany this summer)! We'll be helping out one of the rookie teams there and letting them get some competition experience using our 2015 practice robot which is always a great experience!

Huge shout out to Walton for being willing to host such a great event, we're looking forward to helping you guys out! Watch for lots of volunteers coming your way!

It should be a great event, I always love getting to see most of the Georgia teams in one place.

We are looking to hosting it with the help of our many friends. Not the same size space as last year in the world congress center, but free parking and we let you bring your own food. The field will be on the basket ball court with seating for all. The pits will be in the Aux gym a short covered breeze walk away.

This event caught me by surprise, as it is only 3 or 4 miles from where I live. Looking forward to a visit, and not being on a team I can actually have some fun!

No promises, but I'm looking into it. I'll see if I can do better than last year.

Team 2415 is looking forward to this event! Always good to see some Georgia friends. Hopefully we live up as a "powerhouse team". We're changing some things on the team to attempt to get there down the road. Thanks Walton for hosting such an event!
