the series was Sunday’s top-rated broadcast show of the summer with kids 2-11

Next season, the tournament will double in size and feature an expanded field to include expert roboticists, garage builders, families on a mission and past winners returning to defend their turf, ABC says.

Emphasis mine.

I went to DragonCon to try and find out from the founders and men in charge, but they didn't know yet about whether they will allow open submissions or hold a tryout. I've got a group of friends who want to do this with me.

[Ryan Dognaux]

Woohoo! How do I sign up?

[Cory]

From what I've heard it will not be open signup...there will just be more teams than last year, pulled from a slightly expanded pool.

Official details are yet to be released though.

Feel free to trust a random leak on the internet over me, but that's not what we've been hearing.

"The tournament will be open invitation with the bots and builders casting process beginning immediately."

Sounds like its still invite only to me.

That sentence seems to be saying two conflicting things, to me.

"The tournament will be open invitation with the bots and builders casting process beginning immediately"

[Mark Sheridan]

As long as they cast Touro and air freight Beta in one piece.

[Rangel(kf7fdb)]

If it's open invitation I have a crew that would jump at the chance to compete. If not, if anyone knows who to talk to in order to get involved, please PM me.

You're right, I misread the second part.

[g_sawchuk]

Or we could just ask them.

[AdamHeard]

Open application doesn't mean open tournament to be clear.

Excited to see another season
