FIRST Robotics Competition

Morning: Competition Day 2 - Qualification Matches

The FIRST Robotics Competition involves high school robotics teams from around the state. The teams bring the robot they designed and built to compete in a game.

Qualification Matches continue in the morning, as teams compete to make it into the top eight. Right before we break for lunch, the top eight teams get to pick their alliance partners for the afternoon's Elimination Matches.
