The FIRST Robotics Competition is a unique varsity sport of the mind designed to help high school students discover the interesting, rewarding and exciting life of engineering. The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of students and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week time frame, using a standard "kit of parts" and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in competitions designed by Dean Kamen, Dr. Woodie Flowers and a committee of engineers and other professionals.
The FIRST Robotics Competition is an exciting event that is part science fair, part sporting event, and part rock concert.
To make things exciting, every year FIRST creates a new game that generally includes a challenge unlike anything the teams have ever seen or experienced in previous years.
