Ok guys. Lets figure this shit out and see if we can get something going.
User activity is higher than it's been in years, along with lots of new people as well. We have atleast 5-6 users from the PA/VA/NC area along with others within a several hour drive or easy flight. I figure it's a great time to revive this tradition after a multiple year hiatus.
So far we have a few venues being kicked around:
Bot Blast in PA in July
Adams house in August.
Bristol Motor Speedway in August.
Use this thread to debate dates, venues, activities or any other ideas we may have.

I'd definitely be down for any/all of the above.

For those of us in Ontario, theres the option of meeting up at the Bot Brawl in Kitchener or wherever the second yearly event is usually held

If a Canadian event is being seriously considered, need to make sure we have enough time to get passports sorted out. I know I don't have one and those things take time unless you're willing to shell out big bucks.

I'd honestly be down for a Canada event as well. The max a passport would cost is $190 and thats just to get it in a few weeks. Everything else is a lot less. I think the lowest amount is like $75, I think?

Yeah, to be honest that would probably be cheaper too.
Plus, PA is a bit more central to everybody, I think.

[/quote]Drunk Karaoke would be fun as shit, no doubt.
So from what I am hearing, Bot Blast seems to be the most favorite idea here.
So, Bot Blast is 5 months away. We need to figure out lodging and activities here. If it is a Friday-Sunday type thing, we'd definitely have to have some thing to do for atleast a day and a half. On top of that, lodging would be important. If somebody in the area could open up their home for people that would be great, but if not we need to be looking at cheap ways to live for a weekend. Personally, I wouldn't mind tenting it for a weekend but I know others wouldn't like that.

I'm not going to commit myself but Bot Blast is something I could probably do. I'm cool with tenting as well if that's the way it goes.

Bot Blast has hit a little problem...
The organizers wish to improve the arena for the event but do not have the funding to do so. If you have a little spare cash please consider donating it to them at https://www.gofundme.com/botblast so we can all have a good time there!
Bot Blast 2017 will be held on July 15th provided the arena is in good enough shape.
