The Goal of First RoboticsUnder strict rules and limited resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” and hone teamwork skills. In an intense six-week build season, teams build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.

A lasting journeyDuring FIRST Robotics, students have a chance to learn things that will aid them in the future. They will not only grow as a person, but they will learn how to work well with others and overcome obstacles. Students will acquire skills that they can use throughout their life, such as basic mechanical and electrical techniques, teamwork, initiative, professionalism, and time management.
