This contest will end on Monday, March 31st, so work fast! After the time is up, I will watch all the videos. From there I will be picking out the most creative, funniest, and on topic videos to win the grand prize!

Have fun!

Saint Patrick's Day Research Contest

Hey Chobots!

Seeing as Saint Patrick's Day is just around the corner, we figured it'd be a neat idea for you guys to have some background information about the holiday before the party. So, we've decided to launch a Saint Patrick's Day research contest.

Starting today, March 14th through March 23rd, you're asked to find some information based on Saint Patrick's Day, and placing it on the image above. To do so, I highly recommend using Paint, Photoshop or any other image making program. 

The winners will receive Bugs, Citizenship and maybe even a little something special! 

Best of luck,

Mike

Twins Party

Hey friends!

It's finally weekend and since Chobots is back up we decided to host a big Party for you! But this time it's not going to be a normal Party - to make it more unique we thought a theme Party would be way cuter. The topic of this one will be Twins!

The  party will take place on Saturday, 8th of March, 10 P.M. Cho-Time in the Cafe. The object of this party is teamwork - you and a buddy can get together and see if you can "clone" each other/ wear the same clothes and items. The top three pairs of "twins" will receive lots of bugs. Of course we will have loads of beautiful magic, colors, rain and music, too! Make sure to find a partner early enough, so you can discuss together what both of you'd like to wear.

We hope to see you there!
Birdy
