FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION

FIRST was first founded by Dean K. Kamen. The FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sport, science and technology. FIRST challenges the participating students to raise funds, design, and build under strict rules, limited resources, and a time limit. Teamwork, time management, and planning are essential skills to succeed during the competition. FIRST is a great experience in “real-world engineering” and provides an application for their interests in STEM education.

RECYCLE RUSH 2015

RECYCLE RUSH is a recycling-themed game designed for the 2015 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). It is played by two Alliances of three teams each. Alliances compete simultaneously to score points by stacking Totes on Scoring Platforms, capping those stacks with Recycling Containers, and properly disposing of Litter, represented by pool noodles, in designated locations. In keeping with the recycling theme of the game, all scoring elements used are reusable or recyclable by teams in their home locations or by FIRST at the end of the season.
