Starting Robotics Programs at Schools
- Do you know of a school that should have a robotics team? We can help teach them about the different competition options available to them and help answer their questions. There are competitions and programs for K-12. If you know principals and teachers at other schools this can be big help to us.
Presenters and tours
- We like bringing in engineers and scientists to the schools to speak. Do you know anyone who might be interested in coming to our schools and giving a talk about what they do?
- Do you know of a corporation that we could tour. These opportunities give our members an idea of how engineers work?
Sponsors
- Do you know of a company that may be able to help support the team? We have love sponsors that can help with manufacturing the robot, powder coating, or with costs for putting on some of our events, etc.
Events
- Are there opportunities that you know of us for the team to do demonstrations for the community? Parades, celebrations, conferences, etc are all good venues for the team to spread STEM to the community. Let us know about any potential events or demonstration venues.
Press
- Help get Spectrum in the news. Do you have any contacts in the media that can help us spread STEM and what we do to the community?

Texas Robotics Invitational
Texas Robotics Invitational (T.R.I.) will be held June 19th and 20th. T.R.I. is the off-season event that we host each year in the Strake Jesuit Competition Gym. We will have 32 teams participate at TRI.
To Do List - This is the working to do list for the event. |

District Events
District events will hopefully replace the regional system in Texas in the 2017 season. We run off season events in a similar way as district events are run in other parts of the country. The biggest difference between a regional and a district competition is that there regional events have a production company helping to run them and the districts do not. Our goal for TRI this year and next year is to prepare us for hosting an official Texas FRC District Event in the 2017 season.
