March 20th, 2020 Update:
We're still watching all of the national and international news, just like you, and are getting the feeling that our May competitions will need to be cancelled. I'm giving it one more week (hey it's still a ways away) before we make that decision. Meanwhile, we're removing the end of early registration and switching to just the early registration fee throughout the season. So wait to register until we know what is going on.
We are contemplating a remote track meet (virtual) if we cannot hold one in real life (IRL), with teams competing virtually from their homes. Obviously you can't be meeting as large groups at your schools right now and you shouldn't be doing that at someone's house either. BUT, if you have access to the equipment, you might be able to get ready for one or more of the events. We would still run the events, likely a little slower but I would anticipate a number of fewer teams and students. More news on that next week as to what it would look like and how we would do it. Again, that is assuming we have to cancel the IRL meets.

The Robot Track Meets:
Learning into the future!
Overcome Engineering Challenges
Events such as the Slope Climber have students building robots that can navigate up steep slopes! Would you believe the world record is 82.5 degrees!
|
Not everything is robotics
Some challenges are done without robots, including the Strongest LEGO bridge competition. This bridge is holding 200 pounds of weight and it still didn't collapse!
We also have the Speed Build Competition, which is great because you use our robots during the competition, freeing up yours for other events. |
