The TerrorBytes, FRC team 4561, will be holding a new MiniFRC competition for Stronghold in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
If you’ve never heard of MiniFRC before, it’s essentially a quarter-scale FRC competition where small Arduino powered robots compete in a tiny version of Stronghold. Here's a video of the competition we held in June (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02FbnNCekic).
Anyone that can build a robot and get to the competition can compete! We recommend teams of 1-5 people, but larger is allowed.
Just a few of the improvements that have been made:
Improved game field and elements
Better Bluetooth management
More comprehensive instructions for building and programming a basic robot
Better livestream
For registration, rule changes, build tutorials, code to start you off, and a running Q&A, go to
The MiniFRC Page (http://terrorbytes.org/minifrc/)
Feel free to post any questions you have in this thread, too!
TL;DR:
What: A quarter-scale version of Stronghold
When: Saturday, December 3rd, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Where: Research Triangle High School in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Research+Triangle+High+School/@35.8950408,-78.8765761,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89acefbe8a56001d:0xd0754 ed69e6f8094!8m2!3d35.8950408!4d-78.8743874) (3106 NC Highway 54, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709)
We hope you'll join us!
