In a few days, First State’s FRC team, MOE 365, will join high school teams around the world for an online announcement and the unveiling of their 2016 challenge. Then, in six short weeks they will design, build, and program a robot to accomplish a mission…. However, students and mentors already have a taste of the game’s medieval theme and name: “FIRST Stronghold.”

Addictive? Yes. Demanding? Yes. Fun? Absolutely yes. Costumes? Optional.

Live streaming on kickoff day–January 9– will be 10-12 a.m. ET. Click here.
