Robotics is a powerful way to experience real-world engineering in a supportive, team-driven environment. There’s a role for everyone. Students collaborate, share ideas, solve problems, and see tangible results from their work. Competitions take it even further, connecting you with teams from other schools and communities.

It’s also a space where students, especially girls, are encouraged to explore, experiment, fail, learn, and grow with confidence.

Robotics blends STEAM fields like math, physics, coding, electronics, and mechanical design, making it ideal for future innovators. Along the way, students build not just technical expertise, but resilience, teamwork, communication, critical thinking, and leadership skills that last far beyond the robot.

Why FIRST?

First Robotics Competition gives us a new, exciting engineering challenge every year, one that blends design, programming, electrical systems, strategy, business, and marketing into a single experience. Our team looks like a small company, with students leadind mechnical, software, electrical, media, operations, and drive teams.

Competitions feel like sporting events, loud, fast, and full of energy, but what truly sets Frist apart is its culture of gracious professionalism. In the pit area, teams help each other troubleshoot, share ideas, and celebrate innovation. On the field, alliances of three teams work together in each match, meaning success depends on collaboration, communication, and trust.

Webuild FRC robots because First is widely recognized by colleges and employers, and because the challenges are deep, strategic, and incredibly fun. More than a competition, FIRST is an experience that builds skills, friendships, and confidence that lasts a lifetime.
