First Robotics

It sure is. It's mayhem! Lots going on. Six fields of competition, thousands of kids and mentors. The pit area is a crazy bee hive (bring safety glasses to visit).
I'm team 1731 - Fresta Valley Christian School. Best place to find me is probably in the pits at some point.
Stop on by and introduce yourself! The Elio is probably going to be the furthest thing from my mind while all this is going on, but I'd love to meet you and tell you a little bit about our robot.

Mayhem, indeed!! I didn't get to stay long when Electoken was there last year due to some prior commitments, and unfortunately won't be able to make it down until 4/30 the way things are going here at work, but definitely want to check it out. Might even bring my grandson since it's a Saturday. He's only 6, but man he loves robots!!

Oh, you REALLY need to find the Lego league robotics going on at the same time. He'd flip!

Looks like Jake and I are taking a road trip to catch a day or two of this event. Any chance I can get credentialed as a photographer?

Interesting...
I know that one member of each team gets a 'news' pass that allows them on the floor during the matches.
I don't know about others.
I'll take a look around today and see what I can find out.

The media passes are great. You can go anywhere with one of those.
