Volunteer Training Opportunity: FTC Preview Event
Lauren PeCoy
The Preview Event is an early-season “Week 0” scrimmage that doubles as a hands-on training experience for volunteers. This event gives Texas volunteers the chance to work alongside HQ staff and Global Keys in a live, qualifier-style environment — learning updated processes, testing event systems, and strengthening consistency before the season begins.
📅 Dates: October 18–19, 2025
📍 Location: Marcus High School, Flower Mound, TX
🤖 Teams: 24–35 FTC teams from Texas and neighboring states
🎃 Theme: Halloween – decorations, with optional costumes for teams & volunteers
📋 Schedule (tentative):
- Saturday, Oct 18: Full scrimmage with judging, quals, alliance selection, playoffs, and awards
- Sunday, Oct 19: Targeted training opportunities for Judges and Inspectors
