You register your team, you buy a kit, you build, program and test a bot, you register for a competition in a location that appeals to you, you go and have fun.

At no point in the process will anyone ask if you are from Michigan and tell you that you can't participate.

PS: I remember the poorly worded message that created the false impression that "FTC is not available in Michigan." That was a very poorly worded statement.
