This site is dedicated to the FIRST® Robotics Competition in Minnesota. For other FIRST® programs in Minnesota, please see High Tech Kids. Events are held in the state year-round, starting with the Regional Events in March. The season is capped by an MSHSL FIRST Robotics State Championship in May. Individual teams run smaller offseason events throughout the summer and fall, as well as practice events prior to the FIRST regional competitions during what’s known as “Week 0.” More information about all of these events can be found through the links at the top of the page!
