Founded in 1989, FIRST is a global robotics community that helps prepare young people for the future by promoting hands-on STEM experiences and community engagement. FIRST’s team-based robotics programs progress from pre-K to high school and include FIRST Lego League (FLL), FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), and FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC).Each First program is made for different grade levels, groups, and skill levels.
Each year, FIRST announces a general season theme and a specific game theme for each of its programs. The program that we are participating in, First Tech Challenge, is revealed on September 7. But FIRST is about more than just the physical competition itself. Teams also work year-round to make a positive impact through STEM outreach and community service. They aim to spread STEM and make an impact in the community to encourage STEM education and encourage the advancement of robotics.

We are FTC team 25679 The Cosmobots.
We are a high school robotics team made up of experienced, dedicated students and knowledgeable professionals volunteering to help us.
We are registered as a second year team for the 2025-2026 FTC Decode season. However, our members are far from rookies. We each have multiple years of experience in FLL and FTC. Combined we have over 20 years of experience with FIRST programs and over 15 years of combined experience with FTC.
First, we make a complete CAD model of the robot in Fusion 360
Then, we build and assemble the robot based off the CAD model
We then program the bot completely and ensure it functions well
Finally, we go compete at different levels of competitive events and (hopefully) win!
