2025-2026 Season Team Registration and Product Prices: As we prepare to open registration for another exciting season, we need to adjust our team registration and product prices so we can continue to create and deliver high-impact programs. 

Effective when the FIRST Dashboard opens in May for the 2025-2026 season, FIRST Robotics Competition team registration fees for teams in the U.S. and Canada who register through the FIRST Dashboard will be $6,300, which is an increase of $300. Read the full announcement on the FIRST Community blog.

Resource of the Week: Want to know why your robot did what it did during a match? Logging is the best way of understanding what information you robot was reading in from sensors, what it was outputting to motors and more. Check out the Telemetry section of the WPILib documentation for information on how to log information yourself, use the new annotation based logging from Epilogue, or leverage other 3rd party libraries to help with logging. 

 

FIRST Championship Student Ambassador Program: Are you a FIRST participant attending the 2025 FIRST Championship? Consider becoming a Student Ambassador! Time commitment for the role is a two-hour tour shift plus training. To sign up, apply today and select Student Ambassador.
