Watch more than 20 high school and middle school robotics teams from  
Virginia and Maryland compete to win a place at the FIRST Tech Challenge  
State Championship sponsored by ECPI University at Atlee High School in  
Mechanicsville on February 2, 2019.

Competitions are fast-paced, fun, full of music and cheering fans. There  
will be a new competition every five minutes and a DJ providing  
entertainment throughout the event.

With FIRST Tech Challenge, middle and high school student teams design,  
build, and program 42 pound robots to meet a complex engineering challenge,  
then compete head-to-head against other teams in a high-tech sporting  
event. With the guidance of adult coaches and mentors, teams build their  
robots and develop a playing strategy, which includes forming alliances  
with other teams. Teams earn awards for robot design, creativity,  
documentation, community outreach, “gracious professionalism” and  
competition on the field.

This event is free and open to the public.

Teams will be available to discuss their projects and demo their robots  
when they are not competing.

Refreshments will be available for purchase. No food or drink allowed in  
the main competition area.

Note: Venue was changed from Christiansburg Middle School.
