Mission

The mission of the Minne Mini-Regional is to provide a competition where teams can begin to prepare for the upcoming FRC build season and the ensuing competition season.

Two workshop sessions (over 10 classes offered), with choices from a wide variety of FRC team department subjects are offered the morning of the event.

The Minne Mini-Regional is designed to energize Minnesota teams and to expose rookie team members to a real FIRST experience (official FIRST field and electronics are used) – all in a fun, and casual tournament atmosphere.
