Team Leaders, first of all, please pass on our thanks to all the people that helped make the Week 0 events possible. This was a particularly difficult year with the construction of the Shield Generator and Switch and volunteers put in extra time to make sure the field elements mimicked what your teams will be seeing at the Regionals. If you weren’t able to attend one of these scrimmages, put it on your calendar for next year as they provide a fantastic learning environment for your students.
At this point in the build process, you may have questions as to why something on your robot isn’t working or how you can improve you robot’s performance. There are a number of people willing to help. Another in the series of conference calls is this Wednesday at 7:30pm. The call-in information can be found here:
Bring your questions, comments, and suggestions.
MSHSL State Championship qualification rules will be coming out soon.

Chairman, MN FIRST Regional Planning Committee
