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.
