Wisconsin FIRST Robotics Competition Events - Adding a 3rd Regional Event
Due to our team growth last year we needed to increase event capacity!
A third regional event will be added to Wisconsin to keep event capacity as close to 12 qualifying matches per team as possible.
We are still finalizing contracts for the venues. Once those are finalized we will announce locations and dates as soon as possible- stay tuned.
FIRST Wisconsin has grant funding available to support veteran teams in-need and newly started rookie teams, please fill out this form with details: FIRST Wisconsin Rookie & Veteran Grant Application
