Winnovation, Winnebago High School’s Robotics Team, will be hosting a Pancake Breakfast and Mini-Bot Competition on Saturday, Dec. 6 at Winnebago Middle School.  The breakfast is from 8am-noon.

The Mini-bot competition “Bago Ball Blitz”  will take place from 10am -1pm.  Robotics teams from Oregon, Oswego, Batavia, and IMSA (Ill. Math and Science Academy) will join Winnebago in a student designed competition.  Student built mini-bots, no heavier than 25 lbs. will be playing a game with tennis balls.

Breakfast tickets are available at the door, $5/adults, $3/children ages 5-12.  No charge for the competition.  Come see student creativity at work!
