Super excited for this! An off-season in the Des Moines area is something I’ve wanted to see since I was a student, and I’m glad these teams were able to come together to finally make it happen.

If I may make one suggestion, could the max robot weight be increased by 5 pounds? I know there probably won’t be any inspection, but it would make it easier for any teams competing at CowTown the following month, which does have that change.

Good idea - I messaged our head referee, and she said this would be fine.

I would encourage any of the Midwest teams to join and help inaugurate what I hope becomes a fall tradition in Iowa. It is great exposure to the program for your new kiddos to see the excitement of the game.

Bumping in case anyone was letting this sit until back to school.
