Hi, just saw the link to this from the Austin360 blog. Is it too late to observe the competition that day? I want to get my young son interested in FIRST that I learned about at SXSWi this year. Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi Scott,
It is absolutely not too late! The event is free to the public and no prior registration is needed for guests. We encourage you to stop by during the day on Saturday to catch the action. We will be posting the final public agenda to the site this weekend. Feel free to also email us at robotroundup@gmail.com with any questions about the event or how to get involved with FIRST! We look forward to seeing you there!
