Charged Up (2023)

Rapid React (2022)

Rapid React is the game for the 2022 FIRST Robotics Competition. The game is themed around transportation and involves two alliances consisting of three teams each competing to perform various tasks, including shooting balls known as Cargo into high and low hubs, and hanging on a series of rungs at the end of the match.

INFINITE RECHARGE At Home (2021)

In previous years, FIRST introduced a new, challenging robot game each January at an event known as “Kickoff.” With the 2020 season being disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Kickoff launched an “at home” version INFINITE RECHARGE – the 2020 robot game. 3 separate challenges combine the practical application of science and technology with the fun, intense energy and excitement of a championship-style sporting event. Teams are encouraged to display Gracious Professionalism, help other teams, and cooperate while competing. This is known as Coopertition. These at home challenges allow teams to engage from “home” and virtually compete with teams from around the world. Teams are free to compete in as many of these as home challenges as they would like.

Infinite Recharge (2020)

Infinite Recharge is the game for the 2020-2021 FIRST Robotics Competition. The game centers around a futuristic city theme involving two alliances consisting of three teams each competing to perform various tasks, including shooting foam balls known as Power Cells into high and low goals to activate a Shield Generator, manipulating a Control Panel to activate this shield, and returning to the Shield Generator to park or climb at the end of the match.

Destination: Deep Space (2019)

Destination: Deep Space is the game for the 2019 FIRST Robotics Competition. The game involves two alliances of three teams each competing to place hatch covers and rubber balls or “cargo” on rockets and cargo ships before returning to their hab platform to climb at the end of the match.

FIRST Power Up (2018)

FIRST Power Up is the game for the 2018 FIRST Robotics Competition. The game is played by two alliances of three teams each. Their robots compete on a field by placing milk crates which represent power cubes on large balancing scales in order to tip the scales and gain ownership. Alliances can also trade power cubes in for temporary advantages called power ups. At the end of the match, robots can climb or assist a partner in climbing the tower attached to the balancing scale, located on the center of the field, using a rung attached to the tower for additional points

FIRST Steamworks (2017)

FIRST Steamworks is the game for the 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition. The game is played by two alliances of three teams each. Their robots compete on a field by scoring wiffleballs which represent fuel into a simulated boiler which transfers the generated steam into an airship in the middle of the field. Each alliance has one airship, which they pressurize with steam from the boiler and load with plastic gears from the field. At the end of the match, robots can hang on team-supplied ropes attached to the airship for additional points.

FIRST Stronghold (2016)

FIRST Stronghold is the game for the 2016 FIRST Robotics Competition. The game is played by two alliances of three teams each, and involves breaching the opponents’ defenses, known as outer works, and capturing their tower by first firing “boulders” (small foam balls) at it and then surrounding or scaling the tower using rungs.
