FIRST Tech Challenge (video) is a mid-level robotics competition opportunity for up to 15 members in grades 7-12. FIRST Tech Challenge is an excellent way to experience the power, excitement, and fun of science, technology, engineering, and math and gain insights in the possibility of a technical career. Team members will be involved in the design, implementation, and programming of a robot to participate in a well defined challenge in competition and cooperation with robots from other teams.
FIRST registration and ORTOP registration for FIRST Tech Challenge remains open as of November 16, 2020.
A delayed schedule for FIRST Tech Challenge meets and tournaments in Oregon has been established. You will find it on the February through May calendars on the ORTOP Calendar page.
The Kickoff Celebration and Game Reveal for the upcoming ULTIMATE GOAL season was held on September 12, 2020.
