UNI students and community members, including President Mark Nook, filmed a flash mob message on Thursday, Jan. 16 in the McLeod Center. The message celebrated five years of UNI hosting the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Iowa Regional.

The competition will take place this year from March 25 through 28 in the McLeod Center, where over 45 teams will gather from high schools across the Midwest. Students will design, build and program a robot to compete against others.
