We've closed the curtains on the final FRC qualifying event in New England, and what a show it was!
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) hosted 36 teams from all six New England states at the WPI District Event presented by National Grid. Special thanks to WPI for their commitment to FIRST teams in all programs over the years!
District qualifiers are complete! 96 teams have accepted their invitations to the big show. We're waiting to see who will be part of which division to get ready for a curtain call at The Big E!
