What is the First Robotics Competition?

First's Mission

The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting Mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.

This Year's Theme

Every year, FRC decides on a new theme for the competition. This year's theme is Infinite Recharge powered by Star Wars. On January 4th, all FRC robotics teams around the world learnt the details of this year's game at an event called Kickoff. Click on the image above to view this year's game animation.
