MVP Arena hosts FREE First Robotics Competition on March 22-23 at 8:30 AM (doors open at 8:00 AM).


Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand", hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It's as close to real-world engineering as a student can get.
