We hope everyone enjoyed Rover Ruckus as much as we did! Thank you all for your energy, time, dedication to FIRST and your communities! We have many more opportunities for fun and robots coming up this summer. Please read below for more information and check the list under Quick Links for other events.
LUNAR LEGACY INVITATIONAL
The Lunar Legacy Invitational will take place July 19-20, 2019 at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, exactly 50 years to the day after the Apollo 11 Moon Landing! The Invitational will feature three robotics programs simultaneously: FIRST Lego League's "Into Orbit," FIRST Tech Challenge's "Rover Ruckus," and the NASA's Apollo Next Giant Leap Student Challenge "ANGLeS."
We're working on pricing and registration for the event, and expect to have that active in the next week or so.
To participate in ANGLeS, organizations must register by Friday. The top team from the Arizona event receives a trip to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston! The ANGLeS Challenge is an amazing opportunity for schools who don't have a robotics team yet to get involved - many of you may have schools in your area that have thought about it but are hesitant to jump in...this is a great chance!
Please visit the AZ HUB WEBSITE to register a team and the ANGLeS website for more information. You can also CONTACT SEAN RYAN at NAU if you have questions. Links to the website, a brochure and letter you can print and distribute are available on the links list to the right.
CAL GAMES 2019
San Diego FIRST Tech Challenge is once again extending an invitation to Arizona & New Mexico teams to compete in the CalGames in San Diego. The Games includes another chance to compete with your Rover Ruckus robot, please additional challenges!
The CalGames are July 12-14, 2019. Check out their website here to apply.
FIRST Tech Challenge & FIRST Lego League Jump Start
Jump Start grants are available for rookie FIRST Lego League & FIRST Tech Challenge teams until Friday, April 15! Teams can register now, get their robot kit 4 months prior to kickoff, and get their team registration fee waived for next year. If you have another school in your area interested in getting involved in FIRST, now's a great opportunity! Check out the FLL Jump Start and FTC Jump Start pages for more information.
