Mentor Matches

This year we will continue to have the exciting Mentor's Match! In this match, we would like to see drive teams consisting of two mentors and a mentor as the robocoach.

We all know that the mentors work hard behind the scenes, but this will give them a chance to show their stuff on the field. We would also like to give a high school student a chance at role reversal by coaching this match.

The Mentor's Match will take place after lunch and will not count towards the final standings, so put your best mentors forward!

Rule Changes:

Will be posted as soon as possible.
