Week Zero FIRST Creations Unveiled

About Week Zero: It's like a preseason FIRST competition, giving a chance for teams to give their creations a test run.  Teams get to “scrimmage” on the actual playing field before the larger FIRST competitions commence, including the BAE Systems Granite State Regionals in Manchester March 1-3. This daylong competition continues today at Nashua High School South.
