Ladies & Gentlemen, Start Your Robots!

This weekend marks the kickoff for this year’s First Robotics Competition in Michigan.

Michigan is home to the most teams of any state in the country, and First in Michigan will be sponsoring competitions all across the state from now until the state championships in Ypsilanti April 10-12.

This year the competition has added 80 new teams, bringing the number to 278.
