After months of preparation Hyper Robotics Team 69 begins competition today at the Boston Regional Competition at Boston University's Agganis Areana.
Thursday's agenda includes unpacking the robots; pit and machine shop work; registration and inspection; and practice rounds for the robots.
Friday will feature the competition's opening ceremonies, seeding matches, an awards ceremony, and a team social. Hyper Robotics will also be competing for the Chairman's Award, which was prepared by student Abby Egan and mentors Kirsten Whitten and Michelle Maguire.
On Saturday teams will participate in the alliance selections, final rounds of competition and award ceremonies. Also among the special events planned for Saturday is a performance by Blue Man Group and other guests. Video of last year's Blue Man Group performance and an appearance by Apple-founder and inventor Steve Wozniak are available here.
The competition is being covered live with video, photos and twitter updates by the Blue Alliance.
