FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) had a kickoff event September 21 2019 for the SKYSTONE game in Vancouver. There was a good turnout and we have lots of new teams in Vancouver. I was there to help set up and demonstrate the Rev Control Hub, a new robot controller for FTC.

The new SKYSTONE game was introduced and an overview of the FTC season in BC was given. Then we moved on to discussion of the new game at the field.
