A practical guide to FIRST Robotics Competition, what we will build, and what you will take with you.
01 / WHAT IS FRC?
Sport-level energy.
Engineering-level work.
FIRST Robotics Competition is a high-school program where students design, build, and program an industrial-sized robot for a new game released each January.

robot battery system used to power motors and electronics
three robots per alliance, working with three human-player teams

03 / THIS SEASON
What will we build?
After Kickoff, we will study the rules, prototype several mechanisms, choose a drive base and scoring strategy, then build the robot that our team can operate reliably.
