Welcome, current or prospective volunteers!

The Governor's Cup planning committee is delighted to welcome NH FRC teams to the annual Governor's Cup FRC Competition, hosted at the ALLWell Center North on the beautiful campus of Plymouth State University.

We appreciate your commitment to discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork, and fun, and our committee has been working hard to bring you a safe and delightful weekend of intense robot competition!
