Not sure where to start? Follow a guided path that threads the right departments together for your goal.
Brand new to the team? This is the path that turns a curious rookie into a contributing member — culture, shop safety, and your first real hands on the robot.
Go from zero code to writing real, competition-ready robot software — command-based WPILib, sensors, and tuned autonomous routines.
Design it in CAD, build it in the shop, and bring it to life — the full mechanical engineering pipeline from a sketch to a working subsystem.
FIRST's most prestigious award goes to the team that best embodies the mission. Build the sustainable program, outreach, and story that earns it.
Competition is its own skill. Scout smart, drive sharp, and run a calm, safe pit — everything that turns a good robot into match wins.
