I just received this email (notice the mandatory control system is also by Innovation First):

We are very excited about this upcoming event. We are also looking into the
possibility of having regional competitions in the Summer of 2002 for
further BattleBots High School Competitions.

I would very much appreciate all of you sending me your names and addresses.
We will determine where to hold future regional competitions depending on
the feedback we get from the various regions of the country. This is the
beginning of something really neat and you can be a part of the premiere
competition.

I look forward to hearing from all of you as soon as possible as we need to
lay the groundwork NOW. If you think there is a good possibility of your
team attending the Orlando Competition, please let me know as we will have
to limit the number of teams for the premiere event.

Stay tuned and keep in touch!

Sincerely,

BattleBots Inc.
