Hello FIRST Enthusiasts,
We are just over one month away from the FRC Western Canada Regional (April 3-6, 2016 @ U of C Olympic Oval), the top level student robotics competition in Western Canada.
This year we are pleased to welcome a truly international selection of teams from the USA, Mexico, Israel and Australia, in addition to our Canadian teams.
Please be sure to follow us on social media (see buttons to the right), to stay up to date on the event, for pictures, news releases, and scheduling changes.

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the tragic loss of a member of the FRC community. Evan Caldwell of Team 4627 and his brother Jordan passed away in an accident this past weekend.
The FIRST Robotics Competition is a high school robotics program designed to combine the excitement of sport with the rigours of STEM education. This year’s Regional Tournament in Calgary features not only local teams, but also teams from Mexico, the USA, and as far away as Israel and Australia. This year’s FIRST Stronghold challenge promises to be very exciting:
We’re looking for volunteers to fill various technical & non-technical roles including: referees, robot inspectors, safety advisers, game-field helpers, etc. Prior robotics experience is not necessary.
