Retaining some of the heritage from North Carolina's traditional LOKI offseason event, the Carolinas Premier Event provides opportunities for all FIRST Tech Challenge teams to experiment boldly, refine skills, and share ideas in an inclusive and supportive environment. Whether rookie teams or seasoned competitors, all participants are empowered to push boundaries and excel.
