Don't be blocked out-register now

I’d like to remind you that there are 3 days left to register your FTC team(s) for a second FTC event (or first event if that is the case).
The December events are full with waiting lists but so far we have room at Highland Park, Marion, Argenta and Batavia.
The second round of registration goes much faster.  Note, registration closes on 10/25 and then opens to out of state teams. Indiana had 75 out of state teams(from 6 states) apply for 10 slots at their regional tournament and after Nov 5, I predict that all slots will be filled.
