January marks the start of the six-week "build" session each year. Competitions take place every March where 40 to 70 teams are cheered on by thousands of fans over two and a half days. A championship event caps the season, complete with judges and referees. Awards are presented for design, technology, sportsmanship, and commitment to FIRST.
"The positive impact this event has on young people is wonderful to witness," said Dan Spellens, Director of Theaters & Entertainment for the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center. "We welcome back the U.S. FIRST Robotics Competition to the Long Beach Arena." concluded Spellens.
This event is free and open to the public. |
