At the FIRST® Robotics Competition's Buckeye Regional, over 1,500+ high school students and up to 55 of their industrial-sized robots (plus hundreds of volunteers and mentors) will convene to measure the effectiveness of their innovations & test the power of collaboration.
It's a high-energy, high-tech sporting event where teams of students and industry professionals collaborate to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive environment. The program is life-changing, career-molding, and a lot of fun!
Spectators Welcome!
Be sure to catch all the excitement of this intense competition showcasing robots developed and operated by teams of high school students from across a seven-state region. Spectators can Tour the Pits to meet the teams and get a closer look at their robots! Later, they have an excellent view of the competition field as they cheer on their favorite teams from the comfortable seating throughout the arena!
Admission is free and open to the public. Click HERE to see the public agenda.
About the FRC
The FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC) is an international engineering design challenge that combines the excitement of sports with the rigors of science and technology. Working under strict rules, with limited resources, and time limits, high school teams of up to 30 students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program a robot to perform a set of prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. The Challenge (Game) changes each year and teams of young people (and their mentors) have just six-weeks to solve the problem, using a standard "kit of parts" and a common set of rules... It’s as close to “real world” engineering as a student can get, and the perfect training ground for life’s real-world challenges.
The Buckeye Regional is just one of nearly 200 FIRST® competitions occurring throughout the United States and around the world during the 2026 season. The top performing teams at each event will qualify to attend the FIRST® Championship in Houston, Texas, where they will compete for the title of "World Champion" at the end of April.

ABOUT THIS SEASON'S GAME
In REBUILTSM presented by Haas, two competing alliances are invited to score fuel, cross obstacles, and climb the tower before time runs out. Alliances earn additional rewards for meeting specific scoring thresholds.
During the first 20 seconds of the match, robots are autonomous. Without guidance from their drivers, robots score fuel into their hub. Fuel can be pre-loaded into a robot, obtained from the human player, collected at the depot, or picked up throughout the center of the field. Some robots may also climb the tower to obtain additional points.
During the remaining 2 minutes and 20 seconds, drivers control their robots. Based on the result of autonomous play, alliance hubs will alternate between active and inactive, shifting gameplay between both sides of the field. Robots can collect fuel at any point in the match and may control any amount of fuel at a time. Drivers control their robots to score fuel into their hub while it is active and may perform defensive strategies or collect more fuel while their hub is inactive.
As time runs out, all hubs become active, allowing all robots to score. Robots can climb to the tower’s highest heights to score additional points and claim match bonuses to increase their position in the rankings. The alliance that earns the most points wins the match!
