FIRST Tech Challenge teams (up to 15 team members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format.

The robot kit is reusable from year to year and can be coded using a variety of levels of Java-based programming. Teams design and build robots, raise funds, design and market their team brand, and do community outreach to earn specific awards.

Since Covid19, FTC competition has created 2 formats:

  • Traditional Event (4 teams compete in a 2 vs 2 alliance format, in person, in a 12 X 12 feet field)

  • Remote Event (Your team compete with your own half 12X8 field)

To understand the game rule, it is best to watch this video:
