This regional begins at Week "0.5" this year instead of Week 1. FIRST made a blog post about this change Here. This is the only FRC event happening this week and it starts almost immediately after bag and tag day! There are 66 teams registered for this event, so it will be quite a busy event. Make sure to tune in to the live broadcast from FIRST to see the game in action!

We will be providing our own practice field for the regional in addition to the practice field provided by FIRST, giving us two practice fields to provide teams with at the regional this year. We are also providing student volunteers to help with operation of the event. If you have LabVIEW programming troubles at the event and can't get to one of the FIRST assistants, flag down one of the members of our team and our student programmers or I will do our best to assist you.

If you have any questions about the event or the surrounding area let us know and we will do our best to answer your questions. Best of luck to everyone attending the event!

Know any teams who play good defense?
