First Tech Challenge at Cape Girardeau

FTC Robots taking part at the 2009 Competition in St. Louis, MO

The Southeast Missouri Regional Tournament for the 2010 FIRST Tech Challenge will be held Saturday, January 22, 2011 at the AC Brase Arena Building in Cape Girardeau, MO.

The FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a mid-level robotics competition for middle and high-school students. It offers the traditional challenge of a FIRST robotics competition, but with more accessible and affordable robotics.

At this regional event, around 30 high school teams will compete. These teams come primarily from Southeast Missouri and the St. Louis area.

Volunteers are needed for this event! Please see the Volunteer! Page for details. We look forward to seeing you on the 22nd!
