Sorry.
How FRC Works - Robot Game
It’s NOT BattleBots!

How FRC Works - Robot Game
In FRC, we are tasked to build robots to accomplish certain tasks. It’s almost like playing a game with robots
Each year, there’s a different theme to the game
At competitions, we compete with other teams who have built robots to accomplish the tasks
By completing these tasks, teams earn points

Do I need to know anything about robotics beforehand?
Are there tryouts?
Is it true that I will need to stay every day during the Build Season until late at
night?
