Today, FIRST announced more information about the 2021 FIRST Robotics Competition season. You can find it here.
I know this is a lot to absorb, but I hope you can see we will be offering engaging and challenging activities for teams of all experience levels regardless of their ability to meet in person. The 2021 season will be very different from any other we have experienced, but there will still be a season, and it will still be FIRST!
For all the information we shared in the announcement today, we still have more. In the next week or so, we will be sharing more details about the new challenges we announced today. And in the coming weeks and months, you will be hearing even more. We know there is lots of uncertainty in the world today, and we want to reduce that uncertainty in our little corner as much as we can.
Although the announcement about the events is certainly a disappointment for all of us (I can’t tell you how much I miss seeing you in person!), I am very excited about what we ARE offering this season. Like Dean said in the official announcement, these new challenges will inspire us all in a different way, and I, for one, look forward to seeing what each of you contribute! Even though it may not be robots the way we typically think about them, there are still so many opportunities to learn, explore, and discover this season!
I hope you will join us for a different, but still great, 2021 FRC Season!
