Every January, FIRST launches a new engineering challenge. We design, build and code a robot to take it on, then compete with it.
CAD Design
We model every part before it is made.
Manufacturing
We cut, print and assemble the mechanisms.
Software
We program and test the robot code.
PR & Media
We document the season and talk to partners.
Graphic Design
Branding, the robot’s look and event materials.
What is FIRST?
FIRST is an education organization that uses robotics to bring young people closer to science and technology. Its programs bring students and mentors together through practical learning and collaboration.
In FIRST Robotics Competition, students and mentors design, build and program robots for a new challenge each season. On the field, teams compete in alliances. The robot matters, along with strategy, communication and how the teams work together.
At the World Championship in Houston, Delta Force captained the winning alliance alongside Up-A-Creek Robotics and Java the Hutts. The title was in FIRST Tech Challenge. Together, we also won the Franklin Division.
In the REBUILT season, we earned Regional Finalists and the Creativity Award sponsored by Rockwell Automation at Bosphorus Regional. We qualified for the FIRST Championship, where our alliance reached the Archimedes Division playoffs.
