This past weekend the New England Regional Botball Tournament was held at UMass Lowell in the Costello Gym on Saturday, March 24, 2012. On the other half of the gymnasium was the 11th Annual Botfest Exhibition.

This year's Botball competition theme was "Reef Renewal," where the competing robots have to perform tasks such as gathering kelp, transferring fish to rings that represent fish farms, and of course keeping Botguy on their side of the arena. Congratulations to all of the teams that competed!

Photos of both Botball and Botfest will be available in our photo gallery soon, but you can view photos of Botfest here (by Fred Martin): https://plus.google.com/photos/114049637113235097633/albums/5723961292233320913
