FRC 

Welcome to the FIRST Robotics Competition

"The varsity Sport for the Mind," FRC combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of 25 students or more are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of 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.

      

     Students get to:

             Learn from professional engineers
             Build and compete with a robot of their own design
             Learn and use sophisticated software and hardware
             Compete and cooperate in alliances and tournaments
             Earn a place in the World Championship
             Qualify for over $16 million in college scholarships
