Hi ,

Program Updates, Deadlines, & Reminders

2025 Season Registration: Registration for the 2025 REEFSCAPE^SM presented by Haas season is now open! Start your team registration and prepare your team to use their engineering skills to strengthen one of the ocean’s most diverse habitats – making waves to build a better world.  

Drive Base & Black Tote Opt Out available now: By default, all Kickoff Kits include a drive base kit & Black Tote, but veteran teams who are “event ready" can opt to receive vouchers instead of the drive base kit and/or the Black Tote by selecting “Drive Base Opt Out” or “Black Tote Opt Out” from the “Team Options” section under the “Parts and Products” drop down in the FIRST Dashboard.

Your team’s Drive Base and Black Tote selection closes at 12:00 p.m. noon ET, September 24, 2024. A team is “event ready” if there are two Youth Protection Program screened mentors (required for U.S. and Canada-based teams only) and no outstanding tasks on your dashboard. 

FIRST^® Robotics Competition Season Calendar: Check out the FIRST Robotics Competition Calendar which is updated with key dates related to the 2025 season all the way through FIRST^® Championship. You can even use the "add to calendar" button on each entry to add dates to your team’s calendar! 

FIRST Updates

FIRST Account Maintenance Reminder: FIRST accounts are reset at the beginning of each season. Users will need to log in to the FIRST Dashboard to accept the FIRST policies and the season’s Consent & Release form, update their profiles, and renew the Youth Protection screening if expired.
