Based on last year’s success with over 40 student teams from all over the country, we plan to create a special experience for our teachers, university and high school students. While we know the date is a little early in the school year to build some bots, we’re hoping that with enough advance notice, enough support from SparkFun, and a few surprises in the works we can create the best competition experience for our school community.
