CAGE Match 2013

Competition Off-Season Events

The Digital Goats and CyberCards proudly present
CAGE Match 2013
Saturday, October 19th
Southport Fieldhouse
Indianapolis, IN
With help from our friends at AndyMark and IndianaFIRST

This sixth annual one-day event was created to introduce people to FIRST Robotics. Teams are encouraged to bring rookie drive teams. We will once again host a “what to expect your first year” Student Roundtable Discussion and Adult Roundtable Discussion. We’ll continue to have a blood drive, donations for the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana, a silent auction funding the third annual Art Anderson Memorial Scholarship, and we’ve got some fresh ideas for competing teams.
Last year we had 32 teams register; we hope to replicate that again.

Who’s excited to rattle the CAGE?

Yes. Since the inception of CAGE Match, the Andersons and Carmains and other 45 folks have graciously set up the pit electrical system and are much appreciated for their critical yet thankless work. No wonder they’re VOY/WFFAs.
