What is FIRST Robotics?
Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics the ultimate sport for the mind. High-school student participants call it “the most fun you’ll ever have.”
Under strict rules and limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and construct industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.
Bedford Robotics Programs
A program for high school aged students (9th-12th grade), this is the highest level of FIRST Robotics. In the FIRST Robotics Challenge, students apply their designs and skills to not only their specific challenge, but to solve real world problems.
