I love to see that this event is happening again!

The biggest piece of advice to anyone planning on attending, if you have a spare part for anything on your robot, bring it. If you don’t, get one. Although last time was Aerial [strike]Assault[/strike] Assist, driving your robot an additional 26 matches (requiring some not as experienced drivers for midnight hours, mentors driving, and whatever else they decide to throw in to make this event even cooler) will inevitably cause things to break that you never expected. some of which may not have broken throughout your standard competition season.

This is an incredible, unique event…the silent match, the Mentors match, the “lights out” match–so much fun!

Our students from 3193 are really looking forward to competing here again, and I’m glad I could talk 48 into coming down as well.
