Looking forward to FIRST Championship!

In less than a week, FIRST® Tech Challenge teams will be preparing to compete in over 700 exciting matches. We wanted to take these last days to share some important and exciting information! 

The FIRST® Championship Event Guide, and FIRST Tech Challenge Addendum are great places to start learning more about the event.

Division Assignments and Pit Maps

The division assignments for FIRST Tech Challenge have been published. Take a minute to see who you are competing with next week.

The Pit Map is also published, so check it out to see who your pit neighbors will be. You will notice that each pit address also includes a street name and number, to make it easier for people to find your team.

Robot Support Center

As usual our robot support center includes AndyMark, Pitsco, and Rev. We are excited to welcome GoBilda and Studica to this space this year.

Mental Health Support

Taking care of your mental well-being is just as important as your team’s performance on the field. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or need someone to talk to, confidential counseling services are available on-site for adult and youth participants.

The Harris Center for Mental Health will provide trained counselors who will offer confidential, on-site counseling services to FIRST participants Wed-Sat from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

• To Schedule an Appointment, Scan the QR code below or complete this form:
• Check in for your appointment at the Youth Protection Office (Room 352C).
• If you have questions, email safety@firstinspires.org.

Note about Confidentiality: All appointments are private, and the limited data collected via the form is used only for scheduling. It will be deleted after the event.

Judging, Inspection, and Match Schedules

Participating teams will receive their Judging and Inspection schedules through email ahead of the event, and on their team check-in packets at the event.

Match schedules will be generated at the event, after all teams have checked in. Teams will receive a paper copy of the match schedule and can check the schedule and match results using the FIRST Championship App, which can be downloaded to any mobile device. Follow the QR code below to download the App.

We have a Team Schedule posted on our Team Management Resources webpage. If you didn't have a chance to tune into the Coach Webinar, you can check out the slides and the recording here!

We are excited to see all of you at this incredible event!
