  • PROVINCIALS AND WORLDS (April) – These events are invitational only. The attendance of these events will be decided that build season.
  • COST – We ask that each student donate $400 directly to our team (#9621) through the First Robotics website. Those funds will go directly to our registration fee and you will receive a charity donation receipt. This is not refundable. The student may also be asked to purchase a shirt as well.
