2010 VEX Robotics Championship Of The Americas

The 2010 VEX Robotics Championship Of The Americas was held this weekend at the Omaha Kroc Center. The builders club was asked to come entertain the crowd for the participant party after the championship on Saturday night. Our contact, Allison Pappas, reserved a booth in the main hallway between two of the game areas so we could interact with everyone. We had two mobile R2s and a mobile R3. Lynelle, Jason, and I had our non-mobile R2's on display also.




Everyone took turns manning the booth and fielding questions from parents, teachers, and competitors




Brad ran his R2-D2 around.




Jeff got his R2-TD running about an hour before the event. It looks like his maiden voyage was a complete success!




Lynelle's all aluminum R2-AL was on display.




T3 ran around entertaining the crowd. Most people didn't recognize it and referred to it as a large robotic dog.




Many thanks to Rob and Ben from the 501st volunteered to watch the booth and answer questions.






As we wrapped up the evening, we gathered the standing droids and posed for a picture
