FIRST Robotics Competition
Under strict rules with limited time and resources, teams of high school students are challenged to build industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game in alliance with other teams. At the same time, they fundraise to meet their goals, design a team brand, and advance respect and appreciation for STEM within their local communities.
