Hello Scouts!
OK, just a reboot of the invitation for one of our favorite Troop traditions: The FIRST Team Robotics Competition this weekend!
Going to the robotics competition downtown is a 4 year Troop tradition and is VERY well loved. Each year, High School students from all over the Midwest build robots to compete against each other in different games. Their regional championship is at the UWM Panther Arena downtown on March 26th. In addition to watching the robots compete, the girls get a chance to visit the "pit" and meet the robot builders and ask questions about the robots. (And usually get all sorts of robot souvenirs--keychains, pins, etc.) And it's all FREE!
Here's the game for this year--it looks super cool; the robots have to get past defenses and attack the opposing team's fortress. http://www.wisconsinregional.com/2016.php
I only heard from a couple scouts that were interested in going. (Dea, Adrhia) Anyone else? We can totally carpool--I have lots of room in the van. The plan is to meet up at our house at 9:00, and be back to our house by 1:30. (That gives us time to have lunch after seeing all the robots.)
Please let me know if your scout wants to attend as soon as you can so I can make sure to have ride space if we need it!
Happy scouting, and happy spring!
Aleks
