The Georgia Robotics Invitational Tournament and Showcase (GRITS) is an amazing event designed to give FRC teams an additional opportunity to compete in the 2025 Season's game, REEFSCAPE. It is also a great place to bring your new rookie team members to give them the true experience of competition.
Each year our incredible partner, Automation Direct, designs and builds trophies for this event. They have become one of the most coveted symbols of a team's success. Thank you to all of our GeorgiaFIRST partners who contribute in order to make this event a success!
Coming Soon is the information you will need to make your event experience the best it can be. We look forward to seeing you at GRITS 2025!
