Alva Robotics has officially made it to BEST Regionals! We placed First in the Game Day competition at the Heartland Best Robotics Competition on Saturday. We will be going to Regionals December 16-17. Regionals will be held at the Denver Coliseum in Denver Colorado. Below is a detailed but not finalized schedule of events. We again thank everyone for all the support and we hope to see you in Denver!
