FIRST

What is FIRST?

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a robotics community designed to inspire youth through team based robotics programs.

Kick-offs launch each season introducing the theme, rules and games of the season. After kick-off, the team will design, build, and program the robot, and the team will be encouraged to contact the community through publicizing, outreach programs and industry connections. A local qualifier will be held to allow the team to participate in the regional qualifier, and from that point on, a regional qualifier will be held to allow the team to participate in the World Championship.
