Is there any plan to put the event on The Blue Alliance? I know parents and our schoolteachers would be interested in at least keeping up with scores, if there’s no livestream.

Josh,

We’ll look into it, though I don’t want to make any promises yet.

Any teams wanting to bring 2 robots will be allowed to compete with both if we do not fill all 32 slots, or better yet if you have a second robot we could line up a pre-rookie team to use it under your teams supervision.

I hope we have everyone’s information correct
