Notfall-/Schlechtwetterrichtlinie

In the event of impending bad weather, we will work with University of MD facilities to determine if the event can be held on the regularly scheduled day and time. In the case of bad weather, the first choice will be to keep the event on the same day and alter the schedule. Updates will be provided via email and posted to the event webpage on RobotEvents.com.
