About FIRST

F.I.R.S.T.: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology

Purpose:

"...to create a world where science and technology are celebrated... where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes..."- Dean Kamen, FIRST Founder

The Competition:

"The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of students and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week timeframe using a standard "kit of parts" and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in a series of competitions designed by Dean Kamen and Woodie Flowers. The Competition has grown to over 900 teams competing in 26 Regional Events, and The Championship held at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta where more than 7,000 students participate.

FIRST redefines winning for these students. Teams are rewarded for excellence in design, demonstrated team spirit, gracious professionalism and maturity, and ability to overcome obstacles. Scoring the most points is a secondary goal. Winning means building partnerships that last." From the FIRST website.
