General Info

A Side of Scares with Knuckle Sandwich Robotics

This Halloween, Knuckle Sandwich Robotics, Inc. (KSR) is hosting a robotics competition at Eastwood Middle School, with a costume twist to match the season.

Teams will compete for the usual robotics awards, but this year we're adding a costume category to the mix. Come dressed to impress and you could walk away with one of these, alongside the night's robotics trophies:

  • Best Team Costume 
  • Best Individual Costume 
  • Emcee's Favorite Costume — a Wildcard pick, straight from the mic

Bring your best robot and your best costume. Whether you're here to compete or cheer your team on, it's a fun way to close out October.

See you there.
