FIRST Robotics Competition

A FIRST Robotics Competition event feels like a high intensity sporting event powered by student innovation. Robots race across the field completing complex tasks while drive teams make split second strategic decisions that can shift an entire match.

In the pits, teams repair, rebuild and upgrade their machines under pressure while scouts collect real match data to support alliance strategy. Across the venue, judges meet with teams as they prepare for awards including the prestigious Impact Award.

From cheering crowds to fast paced technical problem solving, every moment shows what students learn through FIRST including teamwork, creativity, resilience and leadership.

The Durham College Event is one of Ontario’s qualifying events that help determine which teams advance to the Provincial Championship.
