Yes! Finally an offseason event in Eastern Washington!

Will you be looking for volunteers before/after the event? If we are going there's a good chance that i will be too tied up to help during.

We are really excited about the chance to play with our Idaho neighbors again. Love the PNW district, but missed working with Idaho.

Yes...volunteers are needed. We are in the process of setting the key positions at this time. We'll post when more volunteer positions are assigned.

I know this is a delayed reply, but FIRST Team 5461 V.E.R.N. wanted to thank CHUCK for a great time at the Spokane off season event Robot Rewind. Our students had a great time and look forward to attending next year.

Everyone learned new things and we had a great time with the other teams. The mentor drive was awesome!

Thanks!
