Very likely 5090 will be there especially since at big bang we got most of the female students time driving and operating the robot and they’ve found out they like it where as before most didn’t want anything to do with driving the robot.

That’s one of the reasons we love hosting this event so much! It’s great to try new things and find new interests :slight_smile:

Sweet

@Tyler_Olds what time is the stream supposed to start?

Thank you everyone (especially our amazing volunteers, who went way above and beyond to ensure the event’s success) for coming together to create another very exciting Goonettes Invitational!

The competition was fierce, and the experiences were invaluable. With our Hands-on Hallway delivering great networking opportunities with Ford Motor Company, Kettering University, Drone Camp Rebels and exciting STEM demonstrations including Digit the bipedal robot, Kettering’s FTC robot in 30 hours, a VR FPV Drone Simulator, and several very cool drones (one of which was raffled off)!

Event photos can be found and downloaded HERE (courtesy of Hannah Korte Photography. Hint: she also does great senior photos) once you enter your email address!

If you are a team or potential volunteer that is not receiving emails from the Goonettes Invitational but would like to be - please fill out this interest form to get on our mailing lists or follow our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

See you next year!

It was a great event. One cool idea for off season events that I heard of this past weekend was, at the Capital City Classic they had workshops, like design development, CAD, machining and others, they put on during the first day. I know it would be quite the undertaking to do something like this and would require multiple teams to do. I know this was a single day event and wouldn’t be able to be fit in with a single day event though
