It was both. The day included our rookies and vets split into teams. They had to design and built Vex bots to play a modified version of this year's official Vex game "Hangin A-Round." We simplified the game, took out the hanging and tall goals scoring, and let them have at it.

It was very competitive.

Each team had to come up with a team name based on a letter of the alphabet that was assigned to their team. Some team names included

- Anonymous
- Black Hole
- Cool Blue
- Demonic Rooster
- EE
- Team FIRST
- Geezus
- Heavy Metalz

The eliminations featured the unique pairing of Geezus and Demonic Rooster.
