Reminder that this weekend (6 and 7 of august) we will be running the FIRST FRC Off Season with a full field, FMS, and 28 Brazillian teams. The event has a professional camera crew, transmission and commentators for your enjoyment!
Thanks to everyone that made this possible! Shout out to @Mark_McLeod , @Andy_Baker , Mary Baker, Terrel Burch and Allen Bancroft for volunteering as our FTA, LRI, Head Ref and Judge Advisor!
The event was a blast. It was incredible to see old and new friends together after many years without a full sized event. Kids had a lot of fun, many of them competed for the first time and are excited to do it again. Thank you Alex and Ayse for all advice and support.
You guys have the same trams we have in İstanbul! Except we have the overhead power version of the Alstom Citadis trams. I love those trams, not so much riding them though as they’re stuffed past capacity here, they are gorgeous vehicles though (Sorry, transit nerd). I rode one today actually to get to Ayse’s.

The photos look gorgeous, it looks like it was an amazing event! Congratulations on putting that all together! Your field looks absolutely stunning, and the robots look pretty cool too Ayşe and I are slightly jealous of how cool you made the field look And I love the integration with FLL
We look forward to seeing pictures from regionals hopefully some time not too far in the future! And any time if you have any questions we’re all ears
Awesome photo! We rode the tram all days going to the event, was very useful. Not having the overhead power make it very clean. I wish my city had it too haha.
Thank you, Alex! Wish to see some Turkish teams when we got our regional!
I just have a thing to say, the event was life changing for me, it showed me a new way of doing things and I really want to take this new things that I learnt to Mexico. Together we have a lot to do, we are the biggest communities in LATAM in the FRC competition and I know this event will mark a new age in the FRC Brazilian Community
I was fortunate to attend this event, serving as the Lead Robot Inspector. Also attending from the states were Mary Baker (Judge), Allen Bancroft (Judge Advisor), Mark McLeod (FTA) and Terrell Burch (Head Ref).
The event was a amazing success. I can attest that Brazil is very ready to run an FRC Regional in 2023. I hope FIRST gets to make this happen.
It was great to see the excitement from the 28 competing teams. Even the 4 teams who didn’t get picked for the elimination rounds were in good spirits after the event. It was especially nice for Mary and to make many new Brazilian friends. If any key volunteers or non-Brazilian FRC teams wish to attend their possible event in 2023, I strongly encourage you to do so. You will definitely be welcomed and appreciated at their event.
OMGGG it was such a pleasure and an honour to meet you, the story that you told me will always stay in my mind and has really motivated me to keep on first for another year, this year will be the fourth and lets go for more
