Husky Robotics Invitational
HRI is an offseason FTC event at UConn. This event through the combined efforts of UConn FIRST, FTC Team 16008, and UConn College of Engineering's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
About HRI
HRI is an off-season FTC Event modeled after the similar off-season competitions including the Chicago Robotics Invitational (CRI) and Maryland Tech Invitational (MTI). June 2023 was the first time UConn hosted HRI. HRI was also the first FIRST event hosted at UConn . We are excited help bridge the gap between the FIRST community and the UConn community.
Event Goals
Bring an off-season FTC event to Connecticut
Create a closer relationship between the FIRST Community and UConn
Highlight UConn's new Robotics Major and other University programs and organizations
