GRITS (Georgia Robotics Invitational Tournament and Showcase) is at Riverside Military Academy on October 28th and 29th this year. We will be there from 8:00-6:00 on both days.
What is GRITS? GRITS is an off-season event where FIRST teams in Georgia compete with FRC robots from the year before. It's more laid back than normal FRC, and we spend less time preparing for it, but it's a lot of fun and especially good for new members who want to get an idea what robotics competitions feel like. The idea is that teams have a chance to implement fun or creative ideas on a robot which they might not have had the time or resources to do during the actual competition the season before.

We are looking for adults willing to drive us there and/or back, 2-3 of whom we would like to help supervise our team the whole day. Please ask your parents to consider volunteering!
If you plan to attend the event, make sure you do these things:
1. Pay your club dues on My Payments Plus.
2. Bring in $15 (will cover lunch on both days). This can be cash or check to NGHS Robotics Club.
3. Fill out the two forms below.
If there are any issues concerning the payments, please feel free to contact us. We want everyone who wants to come to be able to attend!
