Welcome to the off-season! This new post format will come and go throughout the year when there are opportunities to share with New England FRC mentors. The biggest topic right now? Off-season competitions! As of today, 13 local events and 3 exhibitions are scheduled between this weekend and early November.

To close out a FIRST season with as many high tides and deep currents as the ocean, thousands of students, mentors, volunteers, sponsors and friends traveled to Houston, Texas for the FIRST Championship

As the only Premier Event scheduled before the FIRST Championship, New England had a unique opportunity to showcase our unity as a geographic region, celebrate our FIRST Tech Challenge Teams, give competing teams a taste of the FIRST Championship Experience potentially closer to home, and be a guiding light for the Premier Events to come.
