They had six weeks to design, build, and deliver a robot; an unbelievable feat on its own. How many corporations would be able to deliver a working robot in this time frame?</p> <p>The event is free so come out and help cheer on these high school teams.</p> <p>If you've never seen one of these events you should try and get down to Hale Arena. This is a cross between a Rock Concert, Major Sporting Event, and a NASCAR event with intense activity in the pits all rolled into one.</p> <p>- March 4 is setup for the teams, tech checks and practice rounds <br /> - March 5 is qualification rounds. <br /> - March 6 final qualifications and championship rounds.</p> <p>The event is free but there is a fee for parking. This is at the Hale Arena (next to Kemper Arena) <br />1702 American Royal Court <br />KCMO 64102</p> <p>For more information check these links: <br /><a href="http://usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/regionalevents.aspx?id=430">http://usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/regionalevents.aspx?id=430</a> <br />and <br /><a href="http://www.kcfirst.org/Greater_KC_Regional.html">http://www.kcfirst.org/Greater_KC_Regional.html</a> </p> <p>Here are some impressions from last year's competition: <a href="http://someoneknows.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/2009-first-kansas-city-regionals/">http://someoneknows.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/2009-first-kansas-city-regionals/</a></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.kcfirst.org" class="url">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
