- Robo Con strives to provide an exciting opportunity for kids of all ages to learn about STEM, robotics and FIRST in a fun & interactive way. At Robo Con, participating FTC teams can win prizes and trophies, meet some of the top teams from around the world, and learn new things from the best of the best!
- Teams can make Robo Con their very own off-season FTC event, gaining both bragging rights and knowledge. The best part of this event is that it is designed to be a lot of fun, ranging from a modified FTC game, to mentors trying their hand at driving robots!
- If you are coming to MTI, maybe you could come to Robo Con also, it is only 5 days earlier and just 1 hour drive away. Hey! Two tournaments in one trip! Any takers?
