Check this page for updates before the event.\nHow teams participate\nFTC teams will register for the scrimmage through Colorado FIRST. Watch the Colorado FIRST FTC page for event registration; we’ll add a direct link to this scrimmage when it becomes available. Space may be limited, so teams should follow Colorado FIRST’s registration instructions when they are posted.\nCome watch\nGuests are welcome to watch the scrimmage, meet teams, and see how students design, program, and drive their robots. While you’re here, explore the Makers & Community Expo and the other robotics competitions at Gobble Squabble.\nVolunteer for the FTC scrimmage\nFTC scrimmage volunteers apply through the FIRST Dashboard. Apply for roles that interest you, and complete the requirements for your assignment. Some roles include online training before event day. Your volunteer coordinator will confirm your role, training, and shift details.\nNew to volunteering with FIRST? Follow its event volunteer checklist. Adults must complete FIRST’s youth protection requirements, and youth volunteer eligibility depends on age and role.\nIf you’d like to help with the expo or other Gobble Squabble activities instead, visit Monumental Impact’s Volunteer page ( https://monumentalimpact.org/volunteer/ ) and mention Gobble Squabble when you reach out. Food will be provided for event volunteers.\nSupport the Gobble Squabble and Our Robotics Community\nGobble Squabble brings builders, teams, makers, mentors, and neighbors together around what they love to create. Your gift helps us keep the cost low for competitors, provide food for volunteers, and welcome makers and community organizations to share their work at the expo without a table fee.\nThat support reaches beyond one day. It helps more people find their place in a community where they can learn from one another, build new skills, and encourage the next generation of innovators.\nSupport the 2026 MITEE Gobble Squabble and our robotics community.\nGet event updates\nFor the confirmed scrimmage schedule, guest information, and news about the other Gobble Squabble activities, Get Connected ( https://monumentalimpact.org/get-connected/ ) and subscribe to the Monumental Impact newsletter. Team registration and FTC volunteer applications are handled separately through the links above.\n
