Read the Rules!

We were recently told that during the field viewing at Kick Off Day that some of you were told that there could be a negative score for a round. That is incorrect. According to the game specific rules there can be no negative scoring for a round. Also, some were told that you must hit the OSOW button to score any points for the round. That is also incorrect. The OSOW button is required only for transport and does not impact scoring from Prairie Chicken environments and other non-transport scoring. We apologize for this error but it reminds us all to READ THE RULES!

Kick Off Audience Video

Here is a video that hub co-director, Dr. Mike Kennamer shot on his iPhone from the stage just before the game for this year was revealed.Though the video is a little dark you can see that there was plenty of excitement in anticipation for this year's game.



This is Northeast Alabama BEST Robotics largest Kick Off with 12 teams and more than 300 students in attendance. It was held in the Tom Bevill Lyceum, a 750 seat auditorium on the campus of Northeast Alabama Community College.
