SPUG:FIRST Robotics Competition -- Thu-Sat

[Michael R. Wolf]

It's not Perl, but it seems like the kind of thing that may appeal to
you Science and Technology folks.  If hardware doesn't interest you,
stop reading now.

FIRST Robotics Competition is running Thursday-Saturday at "Hec" Ed
(beside the U.W. Stadium).

In general,
  Thursday -- practice rounds (9ish - 5ish)
  Friday   -- seeding matches (9ish - 5ish)
  Saturday -- seeding matches (9ish - 12ish)
              final rounds    (1:00 - 3:00)

If you've only got 2 hours, Saturday afternoon should be *hot*, but
there will be some kind of match running most of the time.

Specifics at http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2003/agendas/WA_agenda.pdf

Free, and open to the public.

Did I mention FREE!!!

Here's a quote from the program:

    FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology)
    and foremost...

    What is FIRST about?

    FIRST's aim is to get students energized and involved with science
    and technology.  It wants to rid the perception of may kids that
    science is musty, tedious, and only for nerds with pocket
    protectors.
