On another note, there's an opportunity for students to program some robots.

We are excited to announce the formation of Calvin's new CRFC (Collegiate Robotic Football Conference) team!  This team will be replacing Calvin's Mars Rover Design Team from last year.  We will be creating a group of robots to play football against other schools, making us Calvin's best football team!  More details about the competition can be found here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__collegeroboticfootball.org_&d=DwIFAw&c=4rZ6NPIETe-LE5i2KBR4rw&r=RETd07_84AAWNHy3_XnGfu607BBOainWRNg8YFxnWIU&m=9LZkeZf0esc3m5A1GHC1a5kYaI_vYj8PsDwKMy6Xu_Q&s=ASVhCanXMAGhNSKEQSsGw106pkBney4N_hPoQLg6BA8&e= >.

While this team is geared towards engineering students, we welcome students from all majors and in all years (freshman especially welcome!).

We look forward to seeing you there!

It's an epic football game between Notre Dame and Purdue, but there are no human players on this team! Daily Planet airs weeknights at 7E/4P only on Discovery Canada! https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.discovery.ca_Shows_Daily-2DPlanet&d=DwIFAw&c=4rZ6NPIETe-LE5i2KBR4rw&r=RETd07_84AAWNHy3_XnGfu607BBOainWRNg8YFxnWIU&m=9LZkeZf0esc3m5A1GHC1a5kYaI_vYj8PsDwKMy6Xu_Q&s=BvR5OqmNg0f55TQTdCpzRL7rlFL7gJmH1GSXHq7ldyg&e=
