Yakima’s First Washington Robotics Competition is This Weekend and it’s Free!

Something fun happening here in town starting today through March 18 is a Sundome FRC Event. Perfect opportunity to get involved or if you just want to spectate. Best of all, it's free to check out.

This may be a wonderful opportunity for you or your friends and family to get involved in a new hobby. If robotics is something you've always been curious about and were maybe curious to look into it deeper you could show up and ask them questions you may have to get yourself started in something like this.

Might be fun just to see for yourself in person.

The pits are open tonight from 5pm - 8pm.

Tomorrow has a packed schedule with pits open, practice rounds and inspections starting at 8 a.m.
Opening ceremonies start at 11 a.m.
Shortly there after the first qualifying matches are bound to begin just around 11:15 a.m. and go from there with a break for lunch.

Nice, too, they're planning on streaming this event on Twitch.

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
