Something I didn’t see, but I’m sure will be a big question this year. How much $$$ to enter?

Looks cool!

That’s a good question. If we use last years model and you register before June 1st it’s $200 and $250 if registered after June. We may adjust downwards to something like this…$150 if registered before June 1 and $200 if registered after June 1. But that has not been decided. Depends on field shipping costs from First In Michigan and Electronic shipping costs from FIRST.

I’ll keep you posted.

Ive got some convincing to do to get 2075 Enigma there, we hope to see you there

This is a Cheap and an amazing opportunity to do so many different things. (see listed above)

Will there be a mentors drive the robots match?!

Or will there be sponsors/school administration drive the robots!?

We could have a great deal of fun with all these different types of events.

There is a possibility that there will be CRio Workshops with Labview, featuring an apearence by National Instruments!!!

Register NOW! Lets make this a great time!!!

It looks like WMRI will be awesome this year!
