2021 - FIRST @ Home

Due to the ongoing pandemic, FIRST created three exciting new opportunities for FIRST Robotics Competition teams in the 2021 season. Team 708 has participated in all three challenges and our submissions are below!

Infinite
​Recharge

In INFINITE RECHARGE at Home, teams show off what their robots and drivers can do in a skills challenge based on the 2020 INFINITE RECHARGE game. Teams also illustrate their robot’s technical qualities by sharing information with judges remotely in competition for traditional robot-based awards.

Game Design Challenge

The Game Design Challenge will allow teams to design their own FIRST Robotics Competition game using real-world, virtual, or hybrid design elements, and compete for judged awards. Winning concepts will be considered for use in future official games. 

Innovation Challenge

In the Innovation Challenge, teams will identify a real-world problem related to this season’s theme, FIRST GAME CHANGERS powered by Star Wars: Force for Change, design a solution, build a business model, and deliver a pitch to compete with other FIRST Robotics Competition teams for a chance to be recognized at the FIRST Global Innovation Awards powered by Star Wars: Force for Change.

Team 708 intramural challenge: Tumbleweed Takeover

We also created our own Intramural Design Challenge where Team 708 students continue to build robots! Check out the details here.
