About FIRST Robotics

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 more than 800 teams competing in 23 Regional Events, and The Championship Event held at Reliant Park in Houston where more than 20,000 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.

The Hall of Fame
The FIRST Hall of Fame has been created to recognize the teams that have had the most impact on FIRST's growth, the Chairman's Award winners.

The Chairman's Award
The Chairman's Award is given annually to the team that best exemplifies and demonstrates the values that FIRST emphasizes.
