HS 1st Robotics Team Kick-Off 2017

January 7
The 2017 FIRST Robotics competition season begins this Saturday, January 7, and it’s not too late to join! High School teams from around the world will compete with robots they have designed, built, and programmed in this fast paced, challenging and exciting team sport.

All RCHS students are invited to attend the team’s kick off on January 7, in the brand new Robotics Workshop. The build season is constrained to a six week time period, and the clock starts ticking with a live broadcast of the new game, beginning promptly at 7:00 am. We will view the game and begin strategy discussions on how best to design our robot and play the game. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to either contact below. Dismissal is set for 3:00 pm.

Our two competitions for this year are: San Diego, CA (March 8-11) and Boise, ID (March 29 – April 1).
