We are super excited to have finally locked down a venue for the Greater DC FIRST Robotics Competition  events for 2022. We will be using the gymnasium of a school building that is now dedicated to virtual learning. We will be holding a week zero event here, pre-inspections during the week zero event, and all four Greater DC qualifiers. 

FIRST Chesapeake is monitoring the weather for the weekend of January 29th. At this point it is too early to make any decisions. 

We will live broadcast a weather update on Thursday January 27th at 6pm on our Twitch channel- https://www.twitch.tv/firstchesapeake.
