Now that the Peachtree and Championship are over you should have received your robot back by now (or are getting it soon). I encourage you to continue to work on your bot to make it ever better. Why you ask? You are invited to attend the GeorgiaFIRST G.R.I.T.S. (Georgia Robotics Invitational Tournament and Showcase) event to be held again this year at StarBase Robins, Warner Robins Air Force Base in Macon, Georgia. We have tentatively set the date for Saturday, October 16th. We will be playing a modified (rules changes) version of Breakaway! Awards will be given for robot and non-robot activities. Inspections are on the honor system so don't go over-the-top with your modifications.
Last year’s G.R.I.T.S. event was attended by 16 teams, three of them rookies. We encourage you to use this event as a recruiting tool for new team members, a practice event for team members stepping into new roles on the team, and above all, a way to expose a new audience to the world of FIRST. It is a GREAT way to get your team in gear in the fall.
So keep your robot in top shape and we will serve you a bowl full of G.R.I.T.S.
Good Luck Teams !!
