We're glad you asked! LOKI is an off-season event created for teams to explore new strategies and ideas that they were not ample to implement in the regular season. Additionally, it serves as a fantastic platform to introduce rookie teams to the exciting realm of FTC (FIRST® Tech Challenge) competitions within a supportive and enjoyable environment.

This summer, LOKI will be hosting the 2023-2024 FTC game, CENTERSTAGE℠. Please see the associated Game Manual 1 and Game Manual 2 for CENTERSTAGE℠ for the rules.

This event will have many of new and fun awards to celebrate all of your hard work throughout this season. While the updated awards for this year's LOKI event is yet to be finalized, a list of awards from 2023 can be found on our Awards Page.

The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership. Students don't just build robots, but robots build them! One of the ways this impacts LOKI is that you don't need a functional robot to compete!
