The SPI wants to celebrate the Ring It Up! season with a competition focused on the robots and game play.
The teams that are attending the SPI are quite talented and have had some great game performances. Four teams had high scores over 400 points, another three teams had high scores over 290. Nine teams are state FTC Champions or were members of the winning alliances. Many participating teams have won numerous other awards. We have teams from 6 states and 2 teams from Romania.
