What is FIRST® Robotics Competition?

“FIRST® Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Teams start with a Kit of Parts to design, program, and build industrial-sized robots to play an action-packed game that is released in January. They compete on a themed field as part of a three-team alliance and earn awards and advancement opportunities. In 360-degree learning, each team also creates a team identity, raises funds to meet its goals, and advances appreciation for STEM in their community”
