MiniFRC is back! TerrorBytes Robotics is proud to host MiniFRC 2022, in which participants can throw together a robot for as low as $30 (available for $10 at our in-person kickoff event) and compete with other teams across NC on a miniature version of the Stronghold field from 2016. This year’s competition is supported by RTP’s own Alfredo Systems and will be held on December 3, 2022.
Registration is NOW OPEN. Pick your team name and sign up on our Registration Form! The first 24 teams will be guaranteed entry; if you sign up after that we’ll add you to the waitlist. We are also seeking volunteers (high school students or adults) to help with refereeing, judging, queueing, and more.
Need help, have questions, or just want to stay in the know about this and future MiniFRC events? Join the MiniFRC Discord server.
Join us for a live kickoff on November 10, 2022 from 5 – 7 pm. At kickoff will release the manual, the field CAD, and other important info about the competition and game. Kickoff location: Research Triangle High School, Rm 66 (3106 E. NC 54. Enter via the loading dock backdoor and come down the stairs.)
What is MiniFRC?
MiniFRC is a quarter-scale FRC competition hosted by FRC Team 4561, the TerrorBytes. The inaugural MiniFRC competition was held on June 4th, 2016, when 16 teams played in MiniFRC: Stronghold. Since then we have usually held a MiniFRC competition at least once a year.
