Hello Everyone.

I have just received some information about the upcoming events.

FIRST announced yesterday that the Detroit Championship is being pushed out to the summer. We are poised for a different, but amazing, 2021 FRC season. Here is a glimpse of what the season will look like in Michigan:

OVERVIEW OF THE FRC SEASON
Game
We will be playing the same game as last year. You can use the same robot or modify it any way you like. Rookies from last year will still be considered rookies this season with regards to the point system.

District Competitions (as of now)
1. Our competitions will begin the last weekend in February (as they always do) and end the last weekend in April. This is 2 weeks longer than usual.
2. Events will be much smaller with 12-18 teams instead of 40.
3. The number of attendees will be limited. There will be no spectators and only a handful of people from a single team. The exact number will be determined closer to the event, based on state-mandated gathering numbers.
4. Events will start and finish in a single day, including playoffs.
5. Judging will be remote.
6. The number of volunteers needed at a single event will be greatly reduced.
6. Social distancing, mask-wearing and sanitization rules will be in effect at all competitions.

THE HUB CONCEPT FOR COMPETITIONS
We are looking to establish HUBS around the state where fields will be erected before our first week of competition at the end of Feb and stay up until the end of April. Each HUB would host many single-day events. Minimizing field set up and tear down will decrease the risk to our volunteers. We would love to find 10 HUB sites- one in the central UP (Escanaba ideal), and 9 scattered around the lower peninsula.
If you know of a great venue that could work, please let me know. We don't need bleachers, just a space about the size of a normal gym to house pits and a field. Kettering, GVSU, and St Joe are already on the list. We especially need to find one in the northern part of the lower peninsula.

It looks like we have a good start and should be able to some great things this year.

Just remember, these rules may change.

Thanks

Joe Kandell
