The Valley’s For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Robotics teams had their robots built and ready to compete in early 2020, but coronavirus hit in March and canceled the season.
Now, the teams already have the robots from last year ready to go, but received word earlier this month that there will be no in-person competitions.

FIRST Robotics aims to have teams construct a robot to solve real-world problems with movement of the robot. Teams use technology skills in their process to create their robots and solutions through brainstorming.
