Detroit

As awesome as Houston was, we're winding up to do it all over again in Detroit. Fields are already being set up and other preparations are well underway for another massive party.

 

And just as we did in Houston, we've got wall to wall coverage on FIRSTtv. Check out all the details here.

 

I can't wait to get this party going!

During the Einstein round robin at the GRB, FIRST recognized one of the most amazing mentors in FRC, Allen Gregory. If you don't know Allen, well, that's hard to believe. He's everywhere helping everybody all the time. The Woodie Flowers Award is the Nobel Prize of Robotics.
