Summer of Robots & Exciting Announcements!

It has been a very exciting summer, packed with FIRST! Here's what some FIRST Ladies teams have been doing this summer:

The Duluth East Daredevils held the 2nd annual Gitchi Gummi Get Together earlier in August. The winning alliance was F.R.E.D.: Team 2883; KnightKrawler: Team 2052; and King TeC: Team 2169. It was a fun filled day with teams around Minnesota. If you are interested in attending next year, keep an eye on their website for announcements about next years event!

FTC Team Polar Vortex recently demoed their robot with other teams at the Minnesota State Fair. There were people of all ages who stopped by to learn about FIRST, and they even got to drive some FTC robots! FLL Team Caught in a Brainstorm also demoed their robot along with several other FLL teams in Minnesota.

FRC Team Panteras has been doing as many demos as possible within their community! They also did a TEDx Talk in Mexico City to  spread the word of FIRST even more!
