== PSU Abington Scrimmage - December 3, 2009 ==
 +
With snow in the forecast 21 teams met at the PSU library to participate in the first Clean Sweep Scrimmage of the season.  Fields supplied by STEMRobotics and Driven were set up to maximize the play action for the day.  The Driven field was used for practice and both the Drivers and Programming Challenges. The STEMRobotics field was set up in the auditorium for head to head matches.  Head Referee Clem McKown and his field crew ran 23 matches.

In the early part of the day there were robots that worked, robots that needed work and robots that were mostly unassembled parts.  As the day went on, mechanical issues became fewer.  Programmers from Downingtown Area Robotics lead by Steve Rhoads helped get programming to work and created autonomous programs for a number of teams.
