Robots@CNE is back at the Ex for FRC teams! FIRST Robotics Competition teams past, present, and future, are invited to play in the first Ontario Off-Season event for the 2022-2023 Charged Up season. Whether you officially registered in the 2022/23 FRC season or not, this event is open to teams of high school participants Grades 9-12.

When: Friday, September 1 – Sunday, September 3, 2023. All matches occur 10AM – 10PM.

Friday is load in and filler line practice matches - similar to a district event. This was done to help teams with mentors with working 9-5s.

What: 2022/23 Season Competition Legal FRC Robot
Registration Cap: 26 Teams
Registration Fee: Initial registration is the price of one ticket. After the CNE confirms registration, the primary team contact will receive a unique code to purchase up to 29 additional single-day passes at a corporate rate (enough for 10 team members per day of competition).
Additional team members may purchase standard rate CNE admission passes in advance of the fair, or at the gate.

This is a fun, unique event. Last year we got more than 12 qual matches spread over 3 days, with lots of time to practice during scheduled field breaks. During those days we interacted with literally thousands of spectators who are visiting Canada’s largest annual fair. It’s held in what I hope will one day be a venue for World Champs. We’re looking forward to it!

Question @JamieSinn (or any other organizer): Will we be able to leave trailers at the venue (in one of the Annexes) ? If so, could we drop a trailer off in one of the loading times, and set up the pit later Friday morning?
