What Is FIRST Robotics Competition?

FIRST Robotics Competition brings high-school students together to design, build, programme and test robots for a season's game. Students work with adult mentors in engineering, programming, strategy, outreach and team operations.

Teams compete in official events and can advance under the current season rules. Entry is through a school or community team. Local recruitment, roles, time commitments, costs and travel arrangements depend on that team.
