is there an updated list of registered teams? My team is currently working on payment.

Teams that have completed their payments are displayed on the website. We avoid listing teams that filled out the registration form but haven’t paid to prevent confusion for other teams.

But to confirm, out of the 24 teams that have filled out the registration form, only 5 have paid so far. We are expecting more registrations and payments closer to the event!

I have reached out to the point person listed on the website to confirm our registration was in as I think I jumped the gun before it was ready. Is there a way to confirm the team is partially registered?

It is easy enough for me to push through a payment.

Reminder for all teams interested in competing in STEM Gals and/or NTX Tournament of Robots, payment are due October 1st, TODAY!!!

Sadly, we had to close our registration early due to venue constraints as of September 24th, 2023. If you were not able to fill out the form from the 24th to now, or have any questions and/or are interested in participating in STEM Gals/NTX, please email [email protected].

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to TRI and @AllenGregoryIV for generously permitting STEM Gals and NTX to incorporate their language into our 2023 rule changes. We’re excited to announce that both live and offline (STEM Gals_NTX Rule Changes 2023.pdf (876.1 KB)) versions of our updated rules are now accessible on our website!

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to FUN and @Tyler_Olds for generously allowing STEM Gals and NTX to be streamed onto FUN’s YouTube page!

We also are excited to announce that STEM Gals and NTX Tournament of Robots are now on the FIRST Offseason Events page and they are also officially linked with their respective TBA pages! We do plan to run both events with FMS Sync, so expect both events to be updated on their respective pages.

NTX Tournament of Robots FIRST Page and TBA

We would like to give a shout-out to @Greg_Marra for working with us on linking both our events and continuing to help us to have B Teams appear on TBA instead of the Off-season teams numbers!

If you would like a more up-to-date list of all the teams attending, please pay attention to our website as that would be the first place to be updated when a team has fulfilled their payment processing! I will post the official teams list once we have confirmed everyone!

We also plan to use Nexus for FRC (formerly “FRC Queue”) to run Queuing, as well as Pit Admin. Teams will receive their QR codes for both events at the beginning of their respective events.

Excited to see everyone this weekend!

Again, Thank you to FUN and @Tyler_Olds for allowing us to stream the event on their YouTube Page and for allowing us to upload the match videos onto our YouTube Page.

Unfortunately, we don’t have Match 3 (R1) for NTX as the stream died on our side, so it wasn’t recorded. Sorry for this inconvenience.
