FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Qualifier

FTC Teams come from around New England to compete at our high school. We set up a field for that year's game for the teams to compete on. Last year's game was played with two alliances of two teams facing off against one another. After the qualifiers, the teams play in a bracket-style tournament, with only a few teams moving on to go compete at the state level! This is one of two qualifiers the teams will partake in. With teams only being able to participate in two qualifiers competition is tough.

FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Qualifier

On November 23rd, Chop Shop 166 hosted a FIRST LEGO League qualifier. 18 different teams came and competed to score as many points as possible in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. They presented their innovation project to a team of judges. The judges also rated the teams on their robot’s design. 10 of the teams that participated, qualified for the NH FLL State Championships being held on December 7th at Bedford High School.
