Students in the FIRST Robotics program work throughout the year to promote their team, and FIRST Robotics engages in community service projects, as well as designing and building prototypes for their competition robot.

Beginning in January, which was the worldwide FIRST Robotics kickoff, the students have just six weeks to design, build, program and test their robot for this year’s unique competition.

The team will compete at the Miami Valley Regional Feb. 27-29 and at the Buckeye Regional at Cleveland State’s Wolstein Center on March 26-28. The events are free and open to the public.
