New Districts
Many of you have probably already heard, but it's now been formally announced that we have three new Districts for the 2016 season!
- The FIRST Chesapeake District - Maryland, Virginia, & Washington D.C.
- North Carolina
- The Peachtree District - Georgia
All teams within these states and Washington D.C. will automatically become part of their given District.
These three Districts, along with Indiana, Michigan, the Mid Atlantic, the New England, and the Pacific Northwest will comprise the eight Districts for the 2016 season.
Frank Answers Fridays
Send your good questions to goodfrcquestion@usfirst.org and Frank Merrick, the FRC Director, will occasionally pick one to answer on a Friday. For more thoughts and guidelines on this, check out the original blog on this feature from a few years ago.
