General Info
Good Day Teams,
It is a good day because you have elected to attend and compete at the River Raisin National Battlefield Park. The RiverBots II VRC Over Under Blended Signature Event is the only Signature Event in MI and the only one at a National Park. RiverBots I broke new ground in MI and was a great kickoff for MI Signature Events. This year we are looking to expand the number of attending teams to 80. The River Raisin National Battlefield Park preserves the site of the Battle of Frenchtown as the only national battlefield marking a site of the War of 1812. You can also join the Junior Ranger program joining Major Muskrats Militia. The event scheduled to take place Dec 15 and 16, 2023. Two days of teams competing for both judged and tournament awards.
At this blended event, there will be two Excellence Awards, one for Middle School and one for High School.
The Event Organizing Committee and the River Raisin National Battlefield Park are eager to see you and your robots for competition in the "2023-2024 Over Under". We expect intense competition with well-designed robots. This game looks to be a lot of fun!
Have a VEXellent day
