Check out over 20 NYC FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams in action at our 1st Annual Big Apple “Breakaway” Scrimmage on Saturday, October 2nd at Francis Lewis High School. This is a live off-season Invitational where you will be able to watch students and their robots play last year’s Breakaway game. You will also learn all about the programming software, mechanical components, and electronic platforms used by FIRST teams. While the event goes on, detailed information sessions will be held at 10am and 12pm in Room 146. Here you will have the opportunity to ask questions about time commitment, team locations, technical expertise, and how to become involved with a FIRST team in NYC.
We look forward to meeting you at the:
