2910 is excited to host PNW Block Party again this year! Block Party will be a two-day FRC event held October 28th-29th at Henry M. Jackson High School in Mill Creek WA.
We will be playing the 2023 FRC game CHARGED UP with the real FRC field and some minor modifications to rules. Teams will have a pit with power, a full set of qualification matches, alliance selections, and playoffs.
We will be using the 2023 CHARGED UP rules that were in play at the 2023 FIRST Championship with the following changes:
- The definition, award, and teleop points for “park” are removed.
- Section 6.4.2 is modified: “B. The ROBOT meets the criteria for DOCKED.”
- Bullet G of rule G301 is modified to add: “the first instance of a popped cube is an exception to this rule, though egregious examples will still be considered violations.”
Registration is open HERE:
Thank you for your patience and apologies in the delay for releasing registration. We operate within a large school district and needed to make sure we had the appropriate facilities & crew confirmed before opening registration to teams.
We have space for about 30 teams, each team getting a 10’x10’ pit for each team. We will take registrations in the order that they’re received, first come first swerve.
The registration fee for the event will be $300. Teams may indicate in their registration that they hope to be able to bring two robots. After 2 weeks, if we are not at 30 teams we will begin adding second robots/drive teams at a cost of $100, again first come first swerve.

Some FAQ’s:
Q: If we bring two robots will we have to share a pit or can we have an adjacent pit?
A: We will only have 2nd robots if under 30 teams register. In that case, we would provide an adjacent pit. It is important to note that the opportunity to bring a 2nd robot/drive team is not guaranteed at this time.
Q: What is the food situation?
A: We will aim to have some concessions available. There are also many restaurants nearby, such as in the Mill Creek town center a short drive away.
Thanks y’all!
