2013 RoboFest

RoboFest is a weekend festival that celebrates science, technology, engineering, and math, hosted by FRC 1675 The Ultimate Protection Squad and FRC 537 Charger Robotics. Part of the event is a robotics competition, part of the event is exhibitions by local groups, universities, and businesses. Interactive exhibits give visitors a hands-on look at what STEM is all about.

The Ultimate Ascent competition will be played all day on Saturday. We are aiming for 24 teams to play and everyone will play in the elimination tournament. If fewer teams attend, the bracket will be adjusted. Sunday is an optional day with exhibition matches, demonstrations, and other fun events – check back soon for more details!

Where: Wisconsin State Fair Grounds (WI Expo Center)
When: September 28-29, 2013
Cost: $200 for Saturday competition only, $50 discount if committed to exhibitions on Sunday as well

Limit of 24 teams on Saturday. Teams can exhibit on Sunday without having to play on Saturday.
