Scrimmage

January 18, from 10-3, MOE 365 FTC and Delaware State University will host an informal scrimmage to help Delaware teams prepare for the Delaware FTC Tournament. The event will also be on display to younger First Lego League students to learn about their options in high school robotics.

The scrimmage will offer informal hardware, software and field inspections, as well as judging advice sessions for each team, and a set of individually scored matches. It will not be run like a full tournament. This is an opportunity to get practice, advice, and to learn from other teams and mentors.

Interested FTC teams should reply by January 10, 2014 to prettyre@yahoo.com or Andrew.N.Szeto@boeing.com.
