I don't know if we'll have time to put together a submission.

Why not give us free food at competitions? Why not put $39 more in materials in the kit? Why not make Championship free?

There is nothing wrong with selling a book.

Check out their websites for author guidelines.

Why give all your hard work away for free? Think twice before signing away your publishing rights.

This book will provide publicity to more teams. Perhaps more teams will see the book than see the magazine, or this book will reach a different audience. It would be nice to have a section about our robot in a nice, hardcover book after we put so much work into the robot. Why not make a submission for the book AND write an article for a magazine?
