Mission Statement

The mission of the Silicon Prairie Invitational is to host an enjoyable, high quality FTC robotics tournament, which brings together teams which both excel on the playing field and embody Gracious Professionalism. We want to celebrate the Block Party! season with a competition focused on the robots and game play.  This tournament will give teams a chance to compete at a national style event. We expect a great group of competitive teams to attend!  Request Invite 

Check in will be late Friday afternoon (with a Chicago Style pizza dinner) and we will have 12 hours of tournament play on Sat.  We will end the night with a great party with a Team Social (still in the planning stages... details will follow).  Sunday is available for tourism in the city.
