Join FIRST Robotics Team 151

Real-world engineering, teamwork, leadership, and creativity for high school students in the Nashua area.

No Experience Required

Imagine designing, building, and competing with a robot on a playing field like a professional sport, powered by creativity, collaboration, and technology. Students gain hands-on experience in mechanical design, programming, electronics, CAD, strategy, business, media, and outreach with guidance from mentors and student leaders.

FIRST Robotics is more than engineering. The team needs artists, photographers, writers, video editors, social media managers, event planners, business-minded students, organizers, and students who want to be part of something challenging and meaningful.

Season Overview

  • Pre-season, September to December: learn technical skills, train with mentors, and work on smaller projects.
  • Kickoff, early January: the global challenge is revealed and the robot design cycle begins.
  • Build season, January to February: students prototype, fabricate, wire, program, test, and refine the robot.
  • Competition season, March to April: the team competes in the New England District.
  • Post-season, May to June: outreach events, off-season competitions, robot upgrades, documentation, and celebration.
