This, That and The Other regards robotics events in the near and intermediate future.
1. 19th Annual Machines Behaving Badly Tournament. Saturday November 16th. Chippewa Falls Middle School. 750 Tropicana Boulevard, Chippewa Falls WI. Starts at Noon, usually runs to 4pm. 24 small combat robots built by middle schoolers will fight it out for your amusement and for the advancement of technology education.
2. VEX IQ tournament. December 14th, 2019. Black River Falls Middle School 1202 Pierce Street, Black River Falls WI. I'm including this one even though it is provisional. I'm only peripherally involved but Chippewa Falls is having its first ever Vex Robotics teams this fall. An excellent preparation for high school FIRST and features some of our summer robotics kids. I'll confirm this one when its certain.
3. FIRST Robotics Build Season begins. Saturday December 4th, 2020. Or as I sometimes phrase it: "The End of the World as we Know It". Even with a slightly more relaxed season schedule on this date we start a very hectic six or seven weeks of work.
4. FIRST Robotics Tournament. March 5,6,7 2020. Duluth Minnesota. Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC). A great show, the largest FIRST event under one roof outside of the Worlds. We'll be there.

I'll be putting comments into "moderator" format for a while. Sometimes they get a bit off topic. I'll post almost all of them even the One Weird Trick Spamsters if they amuse me. I also answer my email at dagmarsuarez@gmail.com
