October 2010
Greetings VEX Community,
It’s only October and we already have over 1800 teams registered – it’s going to be another record setting year!
A few short notes this month:
**VEX ROBOTICS ALL-STAR CHALLENGE AT ESPN’s WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS® COMPLEX at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
**
The 2nd Annual VEX Robotics All-Star Challenge event at Disney World is open for registration. The event will be Nov 11-13 in Orlando, Florida. We have some tremendous hotel packages that include park passes and airport transportation. Registration and hotel booking details are at the All-Star Challenge event page at RobotEvents.com. We’ve been working with the ESPN and Disney coordinators all summer, and they’ve got some great plans to make the 2010 All-Star Challenge an amazing event.
** SPECIAL OFFER ** Disney World is providing World Championship grants to the winning teams that qualify at the All-Star Challenge. That’s right, as an added bonus, the winning teams for both the middle/high school tournament and the college tournament will get a grant that helps cover the cost of entering the 2011 VEX Robotics World Championship from Disney!
