FIRST Tech Challenge Tournament!

March 2, 2013, Saturday

You can view a clip of the game on the FTC website. You will find a lot of valuable information regarding the game, inexpensive methods of building a practice field, the game manual, rules, etc. We have chosen this date to give you enough time to both recruit and build your robots. This will also give you enough time to gather your bearings if you are one of the winning teams and advancing to the Alamo FTC Championship which will be the first weekend in March. Below please find several pieces of information that you may find more than interesting!

FIRST in Texas is accepting applications for grants for this year for FRC and FTC teams.   Funding is targeted towards rookies from last season as well as funding new teams this year. www.firstintexas.org
