Overview
All FIRST teams who wish to participate in Oregon must register with both FIRST and ORTOP each season*. The FIRST fee helps cover the expenses of program development, while the ORTOP fee helps cover the expenses of program delivery. Both FIRST and the local Program Delivery Partners like ORTOP and FIRST Washington use contributions from corporate and individual donors to help reduce or eliminate these costs when needed.
Registering with FIRST
The FIRST national registration opened in May.
