The 2013 GATEKEEPER game was rolled out to teachers, mentors, and students at the Saturday 14 September Kickoff.

Squeaky, the original BEST robot needs upgrades to become Squeaky 2.0. All upgrades have been complete, but one component is missing: the BEST CPU. We need our teams' help in building the newest and fastest CPU on the market.

Check out the 5 minute YouTube Gatekeeper Animation for an overview of the game.  If interested in positions requiring Game knowledge, review the BEST Generic Game Rules, BEST 2013 Gatekeeper Game Specific Rules, and the excellent Gatekeeper Education Document (PowerPoint version, email me if you'd like a pdf version).
