Competition
The FIRST Robotics Competition is a program run by an organization named
For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST). FIRST was founded in 1989 to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology. FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills. While participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition, students work with professionals in their area to build and compete with a huge robot in tasks identified by FIRST. Each team has 6 weeks to design, build, and test their robot before they head out to competition around the world.

FIRST Robotics Competition Team 5159, Bengal Robotics, was founded in 2013 by Sarah Carlson, Physics and Astronomy teacher at Brighton High School in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. The team will compete in its first competition as rookies in the 2014 Utah Regional Competition with a team of 20 students from grades 9-12 and 3 mentors.
This year, students will compete in the 2014 Robotics Competition Aerial Assist, which requires competitors to score points by passing the ball to other team members (or assists), throwing it over a truss in the middle of the playing field, shooting it through a high goal, or scoring through a low goal.
