July 1st Update:
Pit area:
- 3lbers get half a 6ft table each
- 12lbers get a full table
- please bring your own chairs, we have a several but not enough for everyone
- please bring a power strip/extension cords with you. We will make sure each table section has power but how it gets distributed after that is up to you guys.
3lb wait-list:
Please email zlambert@growingstems.org with your robots name, driver name and an email you will answer to be put on the wait-list.
Since our event is limited by space and not by bracket size, we can back fill any 12lb spots with 3lbers and every 12lb spot that does not fill is 2 3lb bots we can let in.
Unless someone drops, registration will close a week before the event and any unfilled spots will be filled with robots from the wait-list. I will email you to let you know if you got in and how to pay the registration fee.
