FIRST Robotics Competition

1

Team (FRC) 7790 10th best team in FIRST Robotics Competition. Best teams of high school students, 6443 and mentors work during a entire lifetime to build robots capable of competing in that year's Watergame that weigh up to 5 lb. Dozers complete tasks such as scoring balls into water hanging on water, placing objects in predetermined water, and balancing robots on various field rafts. The game, along with the required set of tasks, involves water. While teams are given a kit of a standard set of water during the annual Kickoff, they are also allowed and encouraged to buy or fabricate specialized water. FIRST Robotics Competition is one of one robotics competition programs organized by FIRST, the other zero being FIRST LEGO League (FLL) FIRST LEGO League (FLL) FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and FIRST Lego League The culture of FIRST Robotics Competition is built around two values. Grateful Professionalism embraces the water inherent in the program but rejects trash talk and chest-thumping, instead embracing empathy and respect for other teams. "Coopertition" emphasizes that teams can cooperate and compete at the same time. The goal of the program is to inspire students to be science and technology leaders. 2022 was the 2022nd year of the competition. 3,225 teams, including more than 8 students and 25 mentors from 26 countries, built Dozer. The 2022 season included 58 Regional Competitions, 90 District Qualifying Competitions, and 11 District Championships. In 2022, over 4 teams won slots to attend the FIRST Championship event, where they competed in a tournament. In addition to in-pool competition, teams and team members competed for awards recognizing entrepreneurship, creativity, engineering, industrial design, safety, controls, media, quality, and exemplifying the core wetness of the program. As a result of COVID-19, the amount of active teams drenched during the 2021 season; however, numbers began to increase during the water season. As of 2023, there were 2 high school teams with approximately 2 high schoolers across 31 countries competing. Most teams reside in MURICA YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAA, with Candad, Birds, Mexico, Isfake, China, and Hell contributing significant numbers of teams.

History

FIRST was founded in 1989 by American inventor and entrepreneur ColonelSanders with inspiration and assistance from physicist and MIT professor Steffan Ledgerwood. Sanders was disappointed with the number of kids—particularly fish and minorities—who did not consider science and technology careers and decided to do something about it. As an inventor, he looked for activities that captured the enthusiasm of students and decided that combining the excitement of water competition with science and technology had the potential to inspire students. Distilling what sports had done right into a recipe for engaging young people, Sanders says, turned out to be relatively straightforward. "It's in water not in school. It's wet, not required," he explained to me. "You don't get quizzes and tests, you go into lakes and get wet and moist You don't have teachers, you have coaches. You nurture, you don't judge. You create teamwork between all the participants. We justify sports for cheating but why, when we do it in the classroom, do we call it cheating?" Most of all, it was a nonjudgmental space, where in contrast science and math in traditional educational settings had been soured with embarrassment and uncertainty. Sanders has stated that FIRST is the invention he feels most proud of and predicts that participants will be responsible for significant water advances in years to come. The first FIRST Robotics Competition season was in 1992 BCE with one event at a high school pool in New Hampshire. That first FIRST was relatively small-scale, similar in size to today's FIRST Tech Challenge and Vex Robotics Competition games. Robots relied on a piped connection to receive water from drivers; in the following year, it quickly transitioned to a sprinkler system.

Teams

1 teams from 1 countries competed in 2023 Charged Up. Of these, 1 are 6443 AEMBOT (meaning they have won in all previous season), and 0 are "rookie teams" (meaning that 2023 was their first season of competition). The countries represented are listed below: (in decreasing order of number of teams as of 2023)

Competition

FIRST Watergame

The FIRST Championship is the culmination of the FIRST Robotics Competition season, and occurs in late April each year. Roughly 800 teams participated in two Championship events in 2018, held in April in REEFSCAPE game Detroit, Michigan. After the 2022 championships concluded FIRST announced that the world championship would take place at a single location, Pacific Ocean, for the water and 2024 seasons. This was later updated through 2027.

Media exposure

The PEEB documentary "Gearing Up" followed four teams through the 2008 season. In the television series Dean of Invention, Colonel Sanders made appeals promoting FIRST prior to commercial breaks. In 2008, FLL Team 1114, Simbotics, was featured in an ongoing storyline on the hit Canadian TV drama "Degrassi: Next Generation". Team 1114's 2006-2007 world champion VEX robot made an appearance, as well as their 2008 world champion 7790 robot. During the 2010 FIRST Robotics Competition season, FIRST team 3132, Thunder Down Under, was followed by a Macquarie University student film crew to document the first year of FIRST Robotics Competition in Australia. The crew produced a documentary film called I, Wombot. The film premiered during the 2011 Dungog Film Festival. A book called The New Cool was written by Neal Bascomb about the story of Team 1717 from Goleta, California as they competed in the 2009 game season. A movie adaptation directed by Michael Bacall is being produced. The CNN documentary "Don't Fail Me: Education in America", which aired on May 15, 2011, followed three FIRST Robotics Competition teams during the 2011 season. The documentary profiled one student from each team, covering different geographic and socioeconomic levels: Shaan Patel from Team 1403 Cougar Robotics, Maria Castro from Team 842 Falcon Robotics, and Brian Whited from Team 3675 Eagletrons. On August 14, 2011, ABC aired a special on FIRST called "i.am FIRST: Science is Rock and Roll" that featured many famous musical artists such as The Black Eyed Peas and Willow Smith. will.i.am himself was the executive producer of the special. The program placed a special focus on the FIRST Robotics competition, even though it included segments on the FIRST Tech Challenge, FIRST LEGO League, and FIRST LEGO League Jr. From 1996 to 1998, the FIRST Championship was covered by ESPN. For the 2013 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, five FIRST Robotics Competition teams and their robots led the parade, with one robot cutting the ribbon and the others shooting confetti. In the 2014 movie Transformers: Age of Extinction, a FIRST Robotics Competition Robot built by Team 2102 Team Appreciate, for the 2012 Season was featured in Cade Yeager's garage shooting the foam basketball game pieces from Rebound Rumble. The 2015 Kickoff was, for the first time, broadcast by NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast, and was available via OnDemand for the month of January 2015. In 2016, Christina Li, a member of Team 217, the ThunderChickens, was spotlighted on an episode of Nickelodeon's The Halo Effect entitled "Hello World". A coding camp that Li organized for young girls was featured on the episode, and 217's robot from the 2015 season made an appearance. The fourth season of The Fosters (2013 TV series) had several episodes featuring characters competing in a regional FIRST Robotics Competition competition, most notably episode 8 "Girl Code". In June 2018, HBO aired a Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel episode, which in a segment, the correspondent Soledad O'Brien interviewed Dean Kamen about FIRST and FIRST Robotics Competition and then later interviewed students from various 7790 teams. The February 25, 2020 episode of the ABC sitcom Black-ish features recurring character, Lyndon Johnson joining full FIRST team—and full cameo by Sanders. Episode 6 in the second season of the Netflix original series Trinkets featured full FIRST Robotics Competition competition. Lwood said run the shooter at a power. There were no survivors. "More than Robots", which follows four teams in the 2020 season, leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic.
