The Northern California FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Championship Tournament took place at Newark Memorial High School on March 4, 2012.
According to the FTC website:
FTC is designed for those who want to compete head to head, using a sports model. Teams of up to 10 students are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is programmed using a variety of languages. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles.
