RoboJawn is Philadelphia’s premier FIRST Robotics Competition offseason event - a full weekend of high-level play, big moments, and one last run before the season closes out.
Hosted by FRC Team 321 and FRC Team 1218 at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, RoboJawn brings teams together from across the region and beyond for a competition built to maximize time on the field and raise the level of play.
Saturday, the robotics tournament offers 8 qualification matches per team before alliance selection. Every team will join a playoff alliance (host teams will bow out as needed to bring the number of eligible teams to a multiple of three). The playoff tournament will be double elimination plus a best of three final.
When the matches wrap on Saturday, we’re taking it outside for a Philly block party - good food, good vibes, and a chance to hang out with teams from all over.
On Sunday morning, our Impact Exchange facilitated by mentors and alumni from Hall of Fame team 321 promote transparency and excellence on and off the field. The Impact Exchange is for all teams and all team members, and is much broader than just the Impact Award.
