The FIRST Robotics Competition, created in 1989 by inventor Dean Kamen, is a popular annual event for thousands of teens around the country, who compete in teams to build robots that can complete a designated task.

FIRST's mission is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.

This year, 45,225 high-school students on 1,809 teams from 12 countries are competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition game "Breakaway."
