Greetings Florida FTC Teams, Coaches, Volunteers, and Sponsors:
Welcome to the nineteenth (19) Florida FIRST Tech Challenge season (2023-24) and the game CENTERSTAGESM presented by Raytheon Technologies. The five-week countdown to the season kick-off has officially started. On September 9. 2023 we will get answers to questions like: Does the game include any new game elements that we have not seen before, why have sections 7.4 and 7.5 of game manual part 1 been updated to include not just a “Team Scoring Element” but also a “Team Game Element”, why are teams now allowed to user lasers. What questions do you have?
FIRST team registration is currently open and by the middle of September we will start posting league events that you can register to attend by going to the www.flfirst.org website. The CENTERSTAGESM game reveal will be on September 9, 2023. As part of the FIRST IN SHOW season, the FIRST Tech Challenge game will celebrate the roles our STEM skills play in the arts and design and build a world of endless possibilities. You can see the season teaser by watching the following video: https://youtu.be/pTvP165wi3E
