Sweet, another New England Offseason, and Columbus Day Weekend when everyone is around. Sounds like it will be a good event

Not any promises, but you can probably expect 1027 there. Our mentor told us about this last meeting. He said we we're probably going because it's sooooo much closer than Bash@ the Beach. It's right across the river, it couldn't get any more convenient.

[Scott Shaw 237]

Sounds great! I hope to see everyone there! It is a different weekend than Bash so hopefully teams that do Bash will be able to do this competition as well and not have to give up any traditions.

[Scott Shaw 237]

Hey everyone. We finally have a web-site up and running! On it there is team registration as well as volunteer registration! I hope to see everybody there! It should be a great time.

We'll be holding a NEMO meeting/workshop at Bear Brawl. It will probably run from 10-11am for college-age and adult mentors. Feel free to come and go as your schedule allows.

Please send me any non-technical topic(s) you would like to discuss.

Price Reductiuon!

We are reducing the entrance fee to just $75 a team or $100 for two robots! Hopefully you will all come out and take advantage of the cheap off-season located in New England right during the best time of leaf season!

Shirt trade at Bear Brawl!

I'm looking for any team shirts I don't have already!
I'll have more than a few extra Team 237 shirts from various years & sizes to hand out in exchange for one from your team.
I'll take a size Large or XL in trade for anything I have.
I'll be wearing the zebra stripes this competition, so if you want to trade, & can catch me during an off time of refereeing, come on down to the field, & I'll see what I have to trade!

See everyone there, & good luck teams!
