We agree with FIRST in that the first tech challenge is more than a competition-it's a learning opportunity.

Opportunities provided by robotics competitions
One of FIRST's main goals is to motivate young people into pursuing careers in engineering, technology, math, and science. This really shows when you look at the competition format and what is required as building a robot is far from the only thing needed for the competition. Engineering notebooks are a must-have for all teams and take a lot of work. Public relations is a huge thing as without any advertisements or YouTube/social media accounts nobody will know about a team and no crowd fundraisers or sponsorships will happen. Troubleshooting and teamwork are probably the biggest skills needed for a team as anything can happen to a robot and fixing it properly and making it work perfectly is not always possible with such a short amount of time.
