FIRST® FAIRBOTICS San Diego County Fair FIRST OFFSEASON Competition’s June 12-14, 2024, at THE SOUND (See attached).

We are excited to work once again with the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds after a successful offseason competition expo last year. The fair will offer FRC, FTC and FLL OFFSEASON Competitions, June 12-14 at the San Diego County Fair in the Sound.  This year instead of a demonstration or Expo, we will run an offseason competition. We will have three FIRST offseason competitions, with a modified FIRST ROBOTICS Competition (FRC) with official FIRST field, FIRST TECH Challenge (FTC), and FIRST Lego League (FLL) competition (game rules will come soon after registration). I strongly recommend every San Diego and California team to participate in this event.  The more teams we have the more we can show San Diego what we do and the more fun we can have doing it. 

This year, the San Diego County Fair has committed to give FREE parking and entrance tickets into the fair, with the cost of registration. Please do not to forget to include a list of team members with registration to assure you receive tickets for all your team members.  This competition is open to all teams worldwide.
