The Baltimore Area Alliance, commonly abbreviated as BAA, is a strategic alliance of FRC teams in Maryland's Greater Baltimore locale. The alliance provides its members support in fundraising and community outreach events, as well as providing a robotics 'think tank' for design concepts. The alliance also hosts the Battle O' Baltimore, one of the largest off-season FRC events on the east coast.
Every year, Capitol College in Laurel, MD, has hosted the state's official FRC Kickoff, at which teams can view a video feed of the year's game and receive their kit of parts. Maryland also hosts the Chesapeake Regional, which will be held at the Baltimore Convention Center from March 11-13.
Aside from the Chesapeake Regional, Maryland is also home to the Battle O' Baltimore, and unofficial, off-season competition hosted by the Baltimore Area Alliance. Created in 2007, the Battle O' Baltimore has grown into one of the premier off-season events on the east coast, with teams as far away as New York attending. The Robo-Lions have attended the Battle O' Baltimore every year since its creation in 2007.
