FIRST Robotics Competition: University Curriculum Applications of Mobile Robots*

The FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition challenges teams to design, build and compete tele-operated mobile robots. As a mentorship program to interest high school youth in engineering, science and technology, the FIRST Robotics Competition partners high school students with volunteers from the education, engineering, business and civic communities. In 2005 nearly 1000 teams from seven countries competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition. Many universities participate in FIRST as competition hosts, student mentors and team sponsors. This paper examines interactions associated with the FIRST Robotics Competition. Four course models are presented to illustrate a developmental sequence for undergraduate courses centered on the FIRST Robotics Competition. Also, additional examples of FIRST Robotics Competition related labs and lecture instructions are presented.
