North Texas FTC will be holding our 2020-2021 “Ultimate Goal” Season Kickoff online on Saturday, September 12 starting at 1:00pm CDT. The purpose of the kickoff is to give teams more information about the game field elements and rules, and to provide an opportunity to ask questions about the game/field and get a sense of this year’s game components.

The kickoff will take place as a Zoom webinar.  Registration for the webinar is required — register at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pMVJ6wE8SW2ox5w4eUa6eQ .

The FIRST Tech Challenge official kickoff and video will be broadcast online at 11:00am CDT and last approximately one hour.  We’ll then take an hour break for teams to be able to have some lunch, review the FIRST videos, and download/view copies of the manuals and rules.  We’ll then start this North Texas FTC webinar at 1:00pm.  Our local experts will give a detailed review of the field components, scoring elements, and other details, as well as provide some additional overview/insights into game rules and game play.  More importantly, we’ll be taking your questions — we’ll have cameras, pieces, and experts at the ready to try to answer the questions you may have about the upcoming game.

We’ll also have a followup webinar later in the week.

Look for registration links and other announcements on the North Texas FTC Google Group.  We look forward to the kickoff on Saturday!
