Hi everyone!
Just one more mention of the trip to the FIRST robot competiton on Friday 3/20. (Info at the end of the email.)
But also I figured I'd mention an opportunity for the girls to help out at Highland View's STEAMfest event coming up this Friday. A few fun areas are still open for them to supervise if they want. I know some girls have done it in the past and had fun.
And finally, we were able to lock in the GMS gym and MPR on Friday April 17th for a Father Daughter Dance, so block that date off. We'll send invitations out to Girl Scouts in our area in the next week or so, and the girls can start dividing up jobs so we have the best Daughter Daddy Dance EVER.

Robot Battles Info
------------------------------------------------------------
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.)
