Events are a celebration of the season and an opportunity for teams to engage in the excitement of competition. No matter their experience or preparation level, teams should plan to attend an event and celebrate their accomplishments!<\/p>\n

Teams accepting grants from FIRST<\/em> in Michigan, the MDE FIRST<\/i> Robotics Grant, or sponsor specific grants are required to participate in one official FIRST<\/i> in Michigan event.<\/b><\/p>\n

Spring events are organized for rookie teams who did not form in time for the Fall competition season to allow them a “jump start” on the next year. All veteran teams should participate during the regular FLLC season (Nov\/Dec.) Spring Rookie Event spaces will be offered to veteran teams who did not register for a fall event as space allows.<\/p>\n
