Roboshocked!

Roboshock

Roboshock 2010 ended today with quite the shock as FLL, FRC, and FTC league teams competed Friday, May 28th in the Alumni Center for awards, prizes, and gratitude. Teams competed all day, were given a tour of the OSU campus, and saw demonstrations of the OSURC's best external projects.
Thanks to sponsers, volunteers, teams, and coaches for putting on an awesome Roboshock! Until next year!
