We're halfway through FRC district qualifiers in New England! Week 3 spanned the entirety of Massachusetts from west to east. The rankings report for the district is slowly filling in: https://frc-events.firstinspires.org/2022/district/NE.
In the west, 36 teams from 5 out of the 6 New England states prepared for RAPID REACT takeoff at the Western NE District Event. We were hosted at Western New England University throughout March 18th through 20th. Click here to read local coverage of the event from WNEU.
