XOs on campus
There are currently 4 XOs on IMSA's campus, but more are coming with the mid-January order. If you are interested in playing with a machine, contact April-Hope, Kevin or Scott Swanson. You can also just come up to ITS (B205) sometime during the day, before 4:30.
- 1 G1 with Scott, owned by Scott, on long-term loan to the chapter
- 1 G1 with IMSA (kindly donated by Jim Gerry), floating around campus. Ask ITS for it.
- 2 B3s with IMSA (kindly donated by Google Chicago), floating around campus. Ask ITS for them.
If you are an XO owner and live in the Aurora area, and are willing to lend your XO to IMSA for special projects temporarily, please contact Scott Swanson. We would be forever grateful!
