Welcome!
FIRST® Tech Challenge is a robotics competition for students in grades 7 - 12.
Teams of up to 15 students are responsible for designing, building and programming their robots to compete as alliances against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is programmed using JAVA.  Teams are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles.
Awards are given for the competition as well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments. Teams advance from local qualifying tournaments to state championship tournaments, before advancing to the World Championship Tournament.
The FTCNJ Planning Committee extends our sincere gratitude to our NJ Program Sponsor
