We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of our 2009 FIRST Robotics Competition Kickoff Sponsors!

The Saturday Kickoff marks the beginning of the design and build season. Whether it’s the NASA-televised event in Manchester, New Hampshire or one of the numerous “local” Kickoffs, teams will have the opportunity to meet with others to compare notes, get ideas, make friends, find mentoring teams, pick up the Kit of Parts, and get geared up for the exciting competition season.
