FIRST Robotics Competition- Get Involved!
Every year FIRST challenges over 2000 teams of young people and adult mentors to design and build a robot in a six-week time period. Each team is given a "kit of parts" to assist them in the building of the robot. Each team designs their robot specifically to what they feel is important in the game. Although the robots may look and function very differently, each FRC team must follow the same set of competition rules and build specifications.
After the FRC teams build their robots, they are entered in a series of competitions throughout their local area. FIRST Robotics Competitions are spread throughout the world with over 2000 teams and recently we welcomed 154 international teams to the world of FIRST. The FRC world championship has been held in Atlanta, Georgia for the past three years, and will now have a new home in St. Louis, Missouri.
There are many aspects to the FIRST Robotics Competition other than engineering. Not only do teams receive awards for how well their robot performs during the competitions, but FRC teams are encouraged and given awards for community outreach, Entrepreneurship, Gracious Professionalism, Safety, Website, Team Spirit, Design, Animation and Engineering.
