The FRC competition challenges high school students (9th - 12th grade) to raise funds, design a team, sharpen teamwork skills, and build and program a five-foot-tall robot to compete against other competitors. The team requires students with all kinds of skills whether that skill would be graphic design, CAD designing, programming, or business management.
