We are excited to announce the inaugural GEARS Robotics Invitational for FIRST Tech Challenge teams.
UPDATE: Due to the ongoing safety concerns, local and national regulations and the recommendation from FIRST, we will not be hosting the GEARS Robotics Invitational this summer. We are reviewing dates for 2021 and look forward to hosting the event next summer.
Purpose:
Due to COVID-19, the FIRST Skystone season was cut short. Many teams did not get a chance to compete in a State Championship and no one was able to compete at one of the World Championships. Teams worked very hard at designing, building and programming their robots and we want to give them a chance to compete with their final product. Also, teams missed out on the social aspects of competing. We will be offering extended open pit times as well as a social event to give teams a chance to build friendships.
Pits:
Each team will have a 9x9 area to use as their pit. Each pit will have a table (either 6’ or 8’ long), 2 chairs and power. Structures and canopies are allowed and encouraged. The pit floors are smooth concrete. Feel free to decorate the floor if you wish as well.
Dining:
During the competition on Saturday, we will have several food trucks to choose from. Friday night meals should be arranged by the individual teams.
Event Shirts:
ADI Apparel will be on site to provide custom event shirts.
