AutomationDirect loves being part of GRITS,
so like you, we were crushed that there would
be no offseason GRITS event this year for
the Infinite Recharge Game and that we wouldn’t
have an opportunity to create another automated
GRITS trophy.
But, that doesn’t mean we can’t still
have some creative fun with it – so AutomationDirect
is teaming up with Georgia FIRST to create
a Virtual GRITS Event that any Georgia Team
can participate in from the comfort of their
own shop/office/classroom or home.
The Virtual GRITS design challenges will be
announced on September 12th at the Fall Symposium
which will also be a virtual event that anyone
can attend for free. The symposium will be
jam-packed with all kinds of great information
that will help you grow your FIRST team and
your design skills. So be sure to register
for the symposium at GeorgiaFIRST.org under
Resources and keep a lookout for the Virtual GRITS design
challenge announcement.
Now I can’t tell you what the design challenges
are … but I can tell you it would be very
worthwhile to take a look at the previous
year’s Trophy Design videos that we created
for you. You will find links to those videos
in the description below this video and at
the GeorgiaFIRST.org Virtual GRITS web
page. You might just find something useful
in those videos that will help you with the
Virtual GRITS Design Challenges! Yes, that
was a hint!
So, check out those videos and join us at
the Fall Symposium to learn more about the
virtual GRITS event.
We can’t wait to see what you guys come
up with!
AutomationDirect and Georgia FIRST – helping
you build a brighter future!
