Welcome to FIRST Robotics Competition!
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology. FIRST is a 501 (c) (3) for-profit, public charity based in Manchester, N.H. FIRST is volunteer-driven and built on partnerships with individuals, businesses, educational institutions, and government. Some of the world’s most respected companies provide funding, mentorship time, talent, and equipment to make FIRST’s mission a reality. 

FIRST introduced the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) in 1992. Each year FRC unveils a new challenge at Kickoff in January. High school aged students work with professional Mentors to solve the engineering design problem in just six weeks, then work with other teams in alliances to play the game at competition events where they are judged on design, innovation, culture changing behavior and performance. The program is a life-changing, career-molding experience, and it’s a lot of fun.

FRC team sizes vary between 6 and 100 students, with the majority of teams averaging 25 to 30 students​.  

Team will be working with hand tools and hand power tools.  Traditionally Autodesk, PTC and SolidWorks provides FRC teams with a copy of their software to enable teams to design a robot before ever lifting a tool. 

Every registered FRC team receives the Kit of Parts, which includes the Kickoff Kit, FIRST Choice, and the Virtual Kit. The Kickoff Kit contains the parts for use in building a robot for competition. The Kickoff Kit generally contains items ranging from batteries and motors, to control boards and pneumatic devices. The Kickoff Kit is designed to help any rookie team get a functional drive base running within a few days. Conversely, the Kickoff Kit also includes advanced sensor technology which may be appreciated by more experienced and expert teams. The contents of the Kit of Parts varies from year to year, and much of it is donated by generous organizations. Some items in the Kit of Parts are required on all competition robots and teams may use some additional items, as outlined in the Competition Manual.
