FIRST Robotics Competition- Get Involved!
Every year FIRST Robotics Competitions challenge over 1800 teams of young people and team mentors to design and build a robot in a six-week time period. Each team is given a "kit of parts" to use to aid in the building of the robot. Each robot design and functioning is very unique to each team's vision. Although the robots may look and function very differently, each FIRST Robotics Competition team must follow the same set of competition rules and build specifications.

After the FIRST Robotics Competition teams build their robots, the robots are entered in a series of competitions around the country. The FIRST Robotics Competition International Championship is held in Atlanta Georgia.
