FIRST Team 2846-The Roseville FireBears is hosting the inaugural Minnesota Robotics Invitational (MRI) competition on October 21st - 22nd (MEA Weekend) at the Roseville Area High School, Roseville, MN. The MRI will have a real FIRST field, real FIRST electronics, real FIRST volunteers, and a real FIRST Technical Advisor running the event. 

A fun rule change for the MRI is the use of sponsored tubes. Sponsors will have their logos attached to the tubes. Hanging the tube with the sponsor's logo facing the field doubles the point value of that tube.

The Roseville Visitors Association is working with Roseville area hotels to provide discounted hotel rates during the MRI for teams that need an overnight stay. 

This pre-season competition is limited to the first 36 teams to send in their paid registration. The registration form, contact information, schedule, plus other information is found at http://www.firebears.org/mri.html.
