Please let us know how to improve this event for next year. Hope to see you at the West Michigan Regional, and at next year’s kickoff.

THE KICKOFF is the revealing of the 2007 Game Challenge, and the start of the intensive 6-week Design-Build phase of the competition. Teams will learn the game rules and objective for this year’s game, and can pick up their ‘kit of parts’ from FIRST. Teams start their design brainstorming immediately after the kickoff, to meet the tight 6-week schedule for building their competition robot.
