What is the Kansas City Regional?

The Greater Kansas City (KC) Regional FRC will be hosting around sixty registered FRC teams in a span of three days. Teams will have been building their robot for a six week period prior to this competition. The competition will be held according to this season’s theme: Ultimate Ascent. Teams will set up their pit in an individualized area on the first of the three days. Competition is active on the second and third day. Admission is free, but parking may be charged.

Information provided by www.kcfirst.org, the KC Regional Branch of the FIRST Organization.
