2026 Washington Girls Generation

October 17 - 18

General Information:

FRC Team 2046 is excited to host the 2026 Washington Girls’ Generation robotics competition. This competition will be held on October 17 - 18 with optional load-in on the 16th at Tahoma Senior High School in Maple Valley. The goal for Girls’ Generation is to provide an inclusive experience for underrepresented communities in STEM. In that spirit, we welcome all to participate. We plan to use the latest Official FRC Robot game rules for “Rebuilt”, but inspections will not be held.

For Teams: The cost of attendance is $300. The main contact from your team can register for the event by following this link: Girls Gen 2026 Team Registration

NEW FOR 2026: If your team would like to bring a second robot, please email TahomaRobotics@gmail.com by October 12th. There will be an additional fee of $150 per additional robot.

For Spectators: The public is welcome to attend for free! Drop by to see what FIRST Robotics is all about! Competition will run Saturday 10/17 9a - 5p, and Sunday 10/18 8a - 4p.

Team Information:

Trailer Parking: There will be a space to park your trailer during the day overnight near where you load in. We will direct you to where to park your trailers. The gates to the parking lot will be locked at night and there are security cameras in the parking lot. We will not have a security person on staff throughout the night however.

Practice Matches: Due to timing and logistical challenges, we are not planning to have official practice matches. We do plan to have a wooden practice field similar to those at the district events. The practice field will be in a separate Auxiliary gym and will be open when the pits open at 7:30 am, Saturday morning.

Shop Access: We will have our machine shop open for teams in need. The shop will be open for visitation as well (safety glasses required). We also have a variety of spare parts from our own supply that we’re happy to give out if needed.

Check In: Please have someone from your team check in immediately upon arrival. There will be a check in as you enter the main doors on the East side of the school. We plan to make calls to teams who are not checked in by 8:00 am.

Drive Team Pins: We plan to have drive team pins (5 per team) available to pick up at Pit Admin.

Robot Radios: We will be using the VH-109 Radios.

Alliance Selection Rules: We will be using the same alliance selection rules that were used in the 2026 season.
