New Product Request Process for FIRST® Tech Challenge
When a vendor proposes a potential new part to
FIRST Tech Challenge, we work hard to balance multiple factors evaluating the legality of the part. These factors include things like usability over multiple seasons, complexity of game rules, availability of the part, cost, volunteer impact, etc.
Check out our blog to see what other questions we ask and factors we consider.
