FLL & FTC Registration!

Welcome to the Nebraska FIRST blog! This page will have tons of information regarding Nebraska Jr. FLL, FLL and FTC current news. Make sure to subscribe to be able to stay updated!

FTC registration has recently opened as of May 14^th! Make sure to register your team for the 2014 season. If you are an older FLL team or have students that have graduated out of the program, FTC is a great option as the next step in robotics. Teams are made up of students 7-12th grade and involves autonomous and remote-controlled robotics in a fast-pace, sports-like competition. The required costs to become a team include: $275 for registration, $85 for Samantha WiFI module, $140 for the NXT base set, $199-665 Tetrix competition set and event registration. FIRST offers rookie grants to new teams, which pays for the $275 registration fee. These grants are given out on a first-come, first-serve basis, so register soon to qualify for these!

FLL registration has also recently opened, as of May 5^th! The expected close date for FLL is around the end of August to mid September. You do not have to have the team roster finalized to register; if you know your school or organization will participating, sign up now! Once registration is paid for & 2 adult background checks are completed, teams will then be able to buy their field set up kit and get ready for an exciting season!

We are all looking forward to this upcoming season and seeing the amazing work that your teams create. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding registration or about the 2014 season.
