BAA Dinner
On January 11, FirstBAA held a large fundraising dinner sponsored by Outback Steakhouse. There were 300 visitors, and the alliance raised a combined total of $6,000. For FirstBAA’s first event this was a great success.
Teams brought past robots and set up displays for prospective sponsors. They also brought VEX robots and even a couple of VEX playing fields the teams had designed.
