We had so much fun hosting a booth at the Ohio State Fair! Several hundred fair attendees stopped by our booth to learn more about FIRST robotics, drive a ranger robot, and even participate in SumoBots! We had FIRST and team fliers to provide those with interest with more information, and we had a surprise visit from past team members. A huge thanks to Team HatTrix for letting us exhibit!!
