Hi everyone!
Something that has become a bit of a troop tradition is to go watch the robot competitions at the Panther Arena for the FIRST Robotics Regional Competition. We've also usually been lucky to have a day off during the competition to make it easier to attend. Our luck continues this year, since the competition is 3/18-21 and the girls have off from school 3/20!
Traditionally, we head over in the morning, watch the robots battle for a bit, then go visit the teams in the "pit" area to see the robots up close and ask questions (and collect team memorabilia like pins, stickers, etc.) Then we usually find a local place to go eat (the mini-food court at "The Restaurants at eleven25" the girls have enjoyed in the past, and is in walkable distance in good weather, but there's a new Food Hall on Farwell, "Crossroads Collective" that might be worth the drive. )
Then, we usually head back for a few more robot battles and plan to be home around 3:00-ish.
This year's battle game is called "Infinite Recharge" and it looks super fun! You can see the rules and a demo video here: https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc/game-and-season
I recommend watching it for any girls who plan to go so they'll know what they're looking at.
Speaking of wanting to go then:
WHO WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND INTERESTED?
Assume we'd leave our house around 9:30 and be back around 3:00. (Girls could arrive earlier or be picked up later if necessary.)
