Every year, the Paladins host a Quick Build, a day-long event to support Northern Michigan FRC teams. Teams from all over come to the Petoskey High School, where the Paladins help them build, program, and wire a working chassis. This allows new teams, or teams with few mentors, to get started with the complex game ideas rather than spend time building a chassis.
