October 27, 2020 Edition - ULTIMATE GOAL Season
It's Hard to Pin Our Newest Teams!
Here's a new benefit to hosting a remote season - friends from Stuttgart, Germany! If you look at the homepage for MOFTCScores you'll see that there are 113 teams from Missouri (in red), 10 teams from Kansas (in blue) and 2 teams from Germany (in yellow). Germany? How did that happen?

There is no FIRST Tech Challenge partner in Germany and the teams usually travel to the Netherlands or Spain to play. COVID means that travel can't happen. As "orphan" teams, they could ask another FIRST region to let them join in a remote model.  The teams asked us. Why Missouri? Well, St. Louis and Stuttgart are sister cities and team 10183 had been here in 2016 when we hosted FIRST Championship. It really is a small world!

Welcome to 10183 - Frog Robots of Germany and 16476 RoyalCats! The teams are from the Königin-Katharina-Stift high school.
