A roster of go-kart race teams, mostly from Brunswick, Greenwich Academy, Sacred Heart, Greenwich Country Day and Greenwich High School took to the race track for a good cause on Friday night. Grand Prix New York in Mt. Kisco was the venue for a benefit for Project Yellow Light, a non-profit that raises awareness of the perils of distracted driving.

The robots had to be constructed from a specified list of materials and fit inside an 18″ cube before the game. However, once the game begins the robots are allowed to expand. The event is great fun for spectators and teams alike, with many enjoying the tradition of team costumes, wigs, pirate hats and super hero capes. Continue Reading →
