Arizona Kickoff
Please see the blog post from Monday for directions to parking. The AZ Kickoff is upstairs in the Arizona Ballroom of the ASU Memorial Union. Please plan to arrive in the ballroom no later than 8:30 am so don't miss anything. 

If you plan to have your team work with the CocoNuts during the configuration help time, please be sure to label everything with your team number (tools, kit, parts, phones, computers.) If you're a rookie team and would like assistance getting a basic robot together, please bring your kit and some basic tools. Teams are also welcome to bring robots from previous seasons and work on new programs on the Rover Ruckus field. 

Lunch is on your own. There are numerous vendors in the Memorial Union, or plan to bring or get lunches for your team. 

There are so many amazing workshops being offered! A good strategy is to split your team up into small groups to attend each of the workshops and share what you've learned at your next team meeting. 

Can't make it to our Kickoff at ASU? Watch the webcast here - it's going to be out of this world!


HAPPY ROVER RUCKUS TO ONE AND ALL!!!! GO TEAMS!!!
