What is the FIRST World Robotic Championship?

The FIRST Championship (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), is a four-day robotics competition held every year in April and comprises of four competitions from four STEM education outreach programs:

• FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Championship
• FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) World Championship
• FIRST Lego League (FLL) World Festival
• FIRST Lego League Junior World Expo

The FIRST Robotics Program was started by the inventor of the Segway stand-up scooter, Dean Kamen, to inspire student interests in the fields related to STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), especially robotics, engineering, and to teach problem-solving and communication.

Loveland’s robotics team became eligible for advancement from the FTC Super-Regionals based on many factors including robot design, robot performance and team factors such as community service and outreach.
