Hi everyone!
Just a quick update and info about the trip to the Robotics Competition on Friday (tomorrow).
There was no need for pre-registration, so if your scout is available and wants to go, then just let me know to expect you and there's a place for her! (Email or text 414-595-6668 )
Travel Details: We should have enough room in our van and car. Please arrive at our house (4256 Teakwood Ct.) at 9:20 unless you've already made other arrangements with us.
We plan to be back between 1:45-2:00 that afternoon. Since most of the girls have phones, we'll make sure they text when we're leaving! If they don't have a cell phone, they can use ours too. A permission slip with places for emergency contact numbers is attached, please send it with your scout. (I'll have copies at our house you can fill out too!)
Wear weather appropriate clothes and comfortable shoes. For lunch, since Grand Avenue is completely empty, we'll take a short walk to the food hall just past the MATC campus nearby (about a 6-7 minute walk.) If it's raining or otherwise crummy weather, we'll drive, but otherwise plan to walk a few blocks.
Lunch Details: Eating at "Restaurants at eleven25" at 1125 N. 9th Street, Milwaukee WI 53233. Website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mew6G_og-PI
5 choices including Meat on the Street, Gouda Girls, Upper Crust Pizza, Huan Xi Express, and Tokyo Express.
If a girl brings $10 that should cover anything she could want. If not, we'll cover any overage.
The robotics competition itself is at the UWM Panther arena 400 W. Kilbourn Ave. Milwaukee, WI 53203.
If you could have your scout watch the rules/competition summary here, that would really help them understand what's going on!
Tentative Schedule:
Leave our house around 9:30, pick up the girls that need to be picked up.
Arrive at the competition around 10:00 AM
Find seats, watch some competitions until 11:00
Go visit the pit area and talk to the robotics teams and see the robots up close until 12:00
Walk to lunch at "Restaurants at eleven25" (1125 N. 9th Street), arrive around 12:30
Order, eat lunch, and summarize any highlights, lessons, or ideas the girls got from the event
Head home between 1:15-1:30
Arrive home 1:45-2:00
See you soon! Happy Scouting!
