The 4th Annual Chief Delphi Invitational is going to be AWESOME.
7-10 days from Kick off to Competition
FULL RADIO REMOTE CONTROL – NO TETHERS
‘Erector Set Simple’ Drive Train Components
Pneumatics – YES PNEUMATICS!
No Precision Machining Allowed – No Lathes, No Mills, No Wire EDM’s, No Centerless Grinders, etc. only drill presses, dremels, saws, files, etc. allowed
‘Bolt together’ Construction – No welding
2ft X 2ft X 2ft Robots (Weight TBD, but 60lbs is a good guess)
A kit of materials that is the envy of FIRST (if you had to buy it all it would cost you OVER $5000)
(Are you listening Mr B? This could be the start of something you have been advocating for a long time. Who knows, we may even keep the game the same next year ;- )
So… …Find a local non-FIRST high school, pay the $400 register for the CDI, find a few vans to transport you team and you’re there!
Believe me, this is a Do-Not-Miss Event. December 4th, be there.
