No, I’m assuming this is why teams are spending so much money for a third competition. They get an entire event of practice/time to work on their robot before utilizing an event for ranking points.
Well, that and the fact that there are limited 3rd week opportunities for Michigan teams this year. We don’t find out until very late if we can get in one, and by then it is too late to go elsewhere. Our choice had more to do with what events were available what weeks, and what worked into our school schedule with testing and quarters.
Congrats to all of the teams that competed this past weekend at Kettering University!! It was a fantastic weekend of robots, fun, learning and friendship.
