What is First Robotics Competition?
The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is an international high school competition where teams design, build, and program industrial-size robots to compete in a themed game. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get, combining the excitement of a sport with the rigors of science and technology to inspire the next generation of innovators.
