One More Thing from Buddy...
Sometimes robots get a little goofy, computers decide to act like cotton-headed ninnymuggins, or we have to make adjustments to keep everything running smoothly. Because of that, this schedule may change a little throughout the day.
No matter what happens, keep smiling, cheer for one another, and remember that the best competitions are the ones where everyone has fun together. We can't wait to spend the day with you!
