Don't miss the excitement...
The CRLS FIRST Robotics Team will compete in the 2012 regional March 23, 24 (Friday and Saturday) at BU Agannis Arena from 9:00-5:00. As you may know, FIRST robotics is a competition that seeks to foster interest in students for science and engineering. The FIRST organization tries to elevate the role of science and engineering in our society by giving students the chance to compete in an event with all the trappings of a major sporting event. Spectators are given the chance to both view the contests and get up close and personal with all the teams by visiting the teams in the "Pits" where teams repair and modify their robots between matches (look for team 97, Bionic Beef). The team has many members that may not be on a sports team but this is their moment to shine. Come down and support the team this year. The event is free but parking is not and fills up early underneath the Arena on Saturday. There are other garages in the area. We have a great team this year and we are hoping to get a shot at the finals.See you at the game.
