FIRST in brief
The FIRST® Robotics Competition is run by FIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. Every team gets the same game, revealed on one day in January, and builds one 120-pound robot in about six weeks.
Teams then compete at events through the spring. A team that wins an event or earns a qualifying award can go on to the FIRST Championship.
