"You think you can do it better???" for the mentors
"All girl drive team"
"Capture the hill" - not so useful for this year's game, but maybe I can modify it a tad...

Maybe like who can cap the highest??

We also did one robot on the field at a time to see who can score the most points alone, as well as rounds of 1 v 1.

as for 710, along with the people stated above, i will (almost) surely be attending and, barring extraordinary circumstances, I am forcing all the former-267 members to attend also.
sounds like a party.

from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
See the animatronic dinosaurs in our newest exhibit Prehistoric Park and then find out how they do that from local student robotic teams. These students work along side engineers to produce robots to compete in a high energy, fast-paced competition called FIRST Robotics, FIRST Lego League and Florida BEST Robotics.

I wasn't aware of the merger between the three...

I think one of our NMEs (actually the President/Captain/whatever we call him's mother) volunteered us for it before we knew about it... hehe...

Also, do you still need a contact number for 1341?

Nope, I have got the contact number for Maura Malloy. She should have gotten an invoice about the registration yesterday. Can't wait to see team 1341 here.

1604 does not look like we will be showing up, but I'll just put in a little rumor that I am pushing 1390 to attend... we are working on the logistic and discussing our funds. I'll make them more aware of the June 15th deadline. Arefin, I'll let you know as soon as I find out what the mentors decide.
