Go to Post The robot competition is the most obvious, visible, and distilled-media-friendly part of the picture... We shouldn't be surprised that it's all that gets into the news coverage, when that coverage is managed by someone who isn't already well versed in what FIRST is trying to do. - Alan Anderson [more]

Re: Has Anyone Picked Up Theirs Kits Yet?

If you look at his team, he is most likely referring to FTC.

This should then be moved to the FTC area of this forum.

At the same time, a check of the Palmetto Regional roster lists a FRC 2430, "Cyber Storm & GRIP (Greenwood Robotics Interactive Partners)". I believe they're making the step up to FRC.

And yes, StephLee is right--you'll have to wait until January with the rest of us. Don't worry, you get used to it after a while.

You are correct, our team is in the process of moving from a FVC team to FRC. Sorry for this miss-understanding

On that same note, I thank you all for the infomation that you have provided on(to me that is) a miss-wording of the calendar.

Hey BoyDean,
I was asked about stating up a robotics team at my high school about this time last year. I was told there where two divisions in FIRST and i had the option of starting in both FVC and FRC at the same year. I got halfway through the FVC build and I was thinking it was a piece of cake so why not do the FRC as well.

was I in for a rude awakening!! The time requirements for the big 'bots are 10 times greater, but it's also more rewarding. Get as much sleep as you can get before January, because you are going to be busy. Best of luck on your first year in FRC!

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.

No amount of sleep beforehand will make up or prepare you for the lack of sleep you will receive during build season.
