FRC Finger Lakes Regional Competition - March 4-6, 2010
Gordon Field House, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY
DEWBOT VI goes on the road to compete in the 2010 game Breakaway. We are traveling north to compete against teams that we have not matched up with in our prior 5 seasons. This is also our first try at a Week One competition. Do we have the stamina to compete after a grueling six week build season? Are our student drivers and players ready for tough competition? Are we really ready to travel to a place that has more snow than we do? All of these and more at the Finger Lakes Regional 2010!
Eastern Pennsylvania VEX Regional - March 13, 2010
It's the second annual Eastern Pennsylvania VEX Regional to be held at the Downingtown Education Center from 9AM to 4PM. Come see our VEX team competed with roboteers from 3 states!
This is the major VEX fundrasing event, come out and support your teams!
FRC Philadelphia Regional Competition - March 25-27, 2010
Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA
Watch DEWBOT VI strut it stuff in our "home" event. See us compete against teams from all across the country. Drexel is only 45 minutes from Downingtown and there is lots of free parking. Admission is free. Wear your DEWBOT shirts (or VEX shirts) both on sale and support your robotics team!
