BIOBUZZ™ presented by RTX
Every FIRST® Tech Challenge season is a brand-new game, revealed to every team on Earth at the same moment. This year the field turns into a hive: robots collect and score Pollen, and the swarm that works together sweetest, wins.
Season schedule
How the herd works
Discovery and innovation, every meeting. We explore new skills and ideas together, and use creativity and persistence to solve problems. Every prototype — including the ones that don't work yet — teaches us something worth keeping.
Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition®. We compete hard and cheer harder — sharing parts, knowledge, and encouragement with every team we meet. Helping each other is the best tradition in FIRST.
Inclusion, teamwork, and fun. Every teammate matters and every voice shapes the robot. We respect each other, embrace our differences, and celebrate what we build — because we're stronger together, and this is supposed to be joyful.
Inspire the next generation of engineers — right here in Wilsonville.
Your sponsorship buys motors, metal, and competition fees for a rookie team of Wilsonville middle schoolers — and it buys something bigger: the skills, confidence, and belonging that turn curious kids into tomorrow's builders. Your name rides with us on the robot, the pit, and the jerseys at every event.
