Re: Minimum age for FRC?

We have FLL from grades 4-7

We then have FTC for grades 8-9

I invite the 9th graders onto FRC when the FTC season ends. This worked out really well last year. The 8th-9th graders are just not ready for FRC and tend to hide along the walls and blend in with the crowd. Last year the 9th graders coming onto the team hit the ground running and really contributed to the team. Just giving them those years at FTC helps in so many ways.
