FIRST Robotics Competition 2022 Season

Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”

Under strict rules, limited time, and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.

Robert Coons, president of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has said, “FIRST Robotics is as close to real-world engineering as a high school student can get.”

A student in FRC recently said, "Since my freshman year of high school, FIRST has benefited my life through new inspiration and opportunities to become engaged in throughout high school."
