Bring your team to Tempest N Tampa for an exciting day of Robotics fun. This a full weekend of FRC, FTC, VEX, and FLL action all in one place! On Saturday, we will offer FLL teams a place to work on their robots, conduct open practice on the Body Forward Table and the opportunity to take part in some helpful workshops. This is a great way to get your team energized for the upcoming season, meet and talk with other teams, discuss problems with veteran coaches and returning team members, and to get ideas if you are having trouble getting off the ground. Space is limited. Pre-registration is required. Cost is $20 per team.

Open Practice or Practice Tournament?

 What's the difference between an Open Practice and a Practice Tournament?

An Open Practice is an informal event where teams will be building/programming their robots and taking turns running on a competition table. There will be no formal judging. Judges may be available for teams to talk to.

A Practice Tournament is run the same as a Qualifying Tournament, complete with judges and timed table runs. It is called a Practice Tournament because it is smaller and the teams winning at this event do not qualify to go to a Regional. It is an opportunity for the team to find out what the tournament environment is like without the pressure.  There may or may not be trophies.
