Inventor Dean Kamen founded FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in 1989. FIRST is about inspiring innovation, igniting curiosity, and creating pathways for students in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. Each January, teams from around the world are tasked with a challenge during a Season Kickoff Event. During the build season (following kickoff) teams work through the design process, with the ultimate goal of building a successful competition robot. In the months of March and April, teams compete at district, regional, and world competitions.
Our team, Roaring Riptide, competed in the quarter-finals at the Orlando Regional Competition in March 2022. We hope to share more about our student-designed and built robot with you in our FIRST Robotics booth demo.
