RoboProm 2017 and Beyond
RoboProm 2016 was a huge success and from the feedback we received, it was great fun for all. We are working towards RoboProm 2017 at St. Louis AND Houston and already planning for 2018 in Detroit.
As FIRST competitions expand and change so will the 10 year RoboProm as we expand to Houston and Detroit. Our RoboProm Scholarship has been a great opportunity to give back to students and we plan to continue that effort at both locations.
We are looking at ways to give back to the teams in FIRST through RoboProm Grants. How this will be accomplished is still in planning and we hope to reveal details in late summer, early fall.
RoboProm was trademarked this past year, but this was not to prevent teams from having a regional RoboProm. We are working out details to allow teams to use the term for their local events (no charge, just guidelines if you want to call it RoboProm).
We thank the students that attend RoboProm each year and we look forward to 2017 in St. Louis and Houston and in 2018 in Detroit and Houston.
Good luck to everyone in their off-season recruiting, training and other events.
