Just like Christmas has to end eventually, so does our event. Pack up your robots, help clean your pit area, say goodbye to your new friends, and travel home safely. Thanks for making Parkside an elf-sized amount of FUN!

One More Thing from Buddy...

Sometimes robots get a little goofy, computers decide to act like cotton-headed ninnymuggins, or we have to make adjustments to keep everything running smoothly. Because of that, this schedule may change a little throughout the day.

No matter what happens, keep smiling, cheer for one another, and remember that the best competitions are the ones where everyone has fun together. We can't wait to spend the day with you!
