Light snow with wind.  (So dress warm if you plan to enjoy outdoor activities)
Mc Henry is a snow resort area so our roads are well plowed and treated.

Mountain Maryland FTC Qualifying Tournament
January 21, 2023     (POWER PLAY)

 Each year, teams compete in local, state and national FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics competitions.  The ultimate goal is to earn an invitation to the World Championship in Houston, Texas in April.

This year, G-FORCE is acting as the host team for the McHenry, Mountain Maryland FTC Qualifier for the Chesapeake FTC Region. The event will be held in the CARC at Garrett College, and is sponsored by GEARS Inc.

Twenty-seven (27) teams from around the area will travel to Garrett County to compete for spots at the Chesapeake Championship.  Garrett College is providing this excellent venue to promote their growing STEM capabilities, and we hope that teams visiting this event will consider Garrett College for their further education. 

The event follows a typical sports style model with qualifiers and playoffs throughout the day.  The event is open to the general public.  You can also watch the robot rounds via this link from 11 am - 5pm: www.twitch.tv/firstchesapeake2
