At the World Championship in Houston, there are eight fields with 75 teams competing in each one. Each field is named after a famous scientist. This year we are on Hopper. There are teams from all over the USA playing on our field, as well as teams from Canada, China, India, Australia, and Turkey. Each match has teams of 3 robots playing against each other, so it is highly likely we will play with and against international teams. Here is a link for a page that has all streaming links in one spot:
