FTC Kickoff is this weekend!
For those of you who have registered for a kickoff, have a great time! Attending a kickoff in person is so important and helpful to teams (in my opinion). It is a great start to the season and is something I think all teams should do if they get the chance.
For those of you who are watching remotely, you can find the link to the kickoff video here: https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/ftc The link should be live at 9 am on Saturday, Sept 6th!
