FIRST Robotics Competition
Student-built robots competing at the Boston FIRST Regional Robotics Competition.The FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition is designed to help high-school students discover how interesting and rewarding the life of engineers and researchers can be. The competition challenges teams to solve a common problem in a six-week time frame using a standard "kit of parts" to build a unique, high-tech robot, which competes against other robots in performing a specific goal. The competition redefines winning in terms of excellence in design, team spirit, gracious professionalism and maturity, and the ability to overcome obstacles.
Lincoln Laboratory is a sponsor of the Boston FIRST Regional Robotics Competition. The Boston competition is one of 41 regional events leading to the national competition in Atlanta, GA.
