General Info
Welcome to the Sky-Party Scrimmage at the Dawg Pound!
Welcome to Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn, IL. We are hosting a scrimmage because we want to introduce REC format Aerial Drone Competition in the Chicagoland region. REC participants can register via the Robot Events portal. Non REC format participants may register by contacting George Melonas at [email protected] or Dennis Reynolds at [email protected]. You may also call the H.L. Richards NJROTC Office at (708)499-5440 if you have any questions or concerns.
This competition is on May 17th, 2025, and is open to High School, Junior High School, and Middle School Aerial Drone Competition Teams.
