FRC Teams!<\/p>\n

This is a chance for young women to show off their robots and skills competing with your 2023 robot playing FIRST ChargedUp.<\/p>\n

The robot drivers\/operators, human player, technician and pit crew must be high school aged girls.\u00a0 This is a great opportunity recruit young women to your team, get the experience and confidence of driving the robot at an event, and have fun.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t think your team will have enough girls to compete, we have a couple teams with more than enough girls that can augment your team.<\/p>\n

There is a $250 fee to cover the costs of the competition.\u00a0 Teams can load in and practice after 5p on Friday 10\/6.\u00a0 For additional information, please go to our website:\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/girlsrobotics.org\/<\/a>\u00a0 You can sign up on the website or\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Participating teams may nominate one young woman for the Outstanding Leadership Award.\u00a0 This year, we anticipate awarding at least three $500 scholarships to GRGRC participants.\u00a0 Details are at:\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/girlsrobotics.org\/deans-award\/<\/a><\/p>\n
