The FIRST Championship is a four-day robotics championship held annually in April at which FIRST student robotics teams compete. For several years, the event was held at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, but moved to the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri in 2011, where it remained through 2017. In 2017, the Championship was split into two events, being additionally held at the George R. Brown Convention Center and Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. In 2018 and 2019, the Championship was held in Houston and Detroit, Michigan at the TCF Center and Ford Field. The event comprises four competitions; the FIRST Robotics Competition Championship, the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship, the FIRST Lego League World Festival, and the FIRST Lego League Junior World Expo.

  • The FIRST Championship is a four-day robotics championship held annually in April at which FIRST student robotics teams compete. For several years, the event was held at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, but moved to the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri in 2011, where it remained through 2017. In 2017, the Championship was split into two events, being additionally held at the George R. Brown Convention Center and Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. In 2018 and 2019, the Championship was held in Houston and Detroit, Michigan at the TCF Center and Ford Field. The event comprises four competitions; the FIRST Robotics Competition Championship, the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship, the FIRST Lego League World Festival, and the FIRST Lego League Junior World Expo. The FIRST Robotics Competition is a ten-week program in which high-school students build 125-pound (54 kg) robots designed to compete in a game that changes each year. Students are given sets of parts to use, but they can also use off-the-shelf or custom-made parts. The FIRST Tech Challenge is a mid-level competition program for middle school and high school aged students with a more accessible and affordable robotics kit. FIRST LEGO League is a competition program for elementary and middle school students using LEGO Mindstorms robotics kits. Teams for each program compete in tournaments at a state and regional level. The winning teams from each of these tournaments join the global competition at the FIRST Championship. The FIRST Championship was formally held in conjunction with the FIRST Robotics Conference, which covers a wide variety of topics in science, technology, engineering, and robotics fields. The 2011 championship was also host to the Collegiate Aerial Robotics Demonstration, a pilot collegiate FIRST program. In 2015, to expand, it was announced that the FIRST Championship would be divided into multiple venues. The new Innovation Faire featuring displays and demonstrations from FIRST Sponsors, Partners and Suppliers took place at the Renaissance St. Louis Grand Hotel, The FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship and the Junior FIRST Lego League World Festival took place at Union Station (St. Louis), and the FIRST LEGO League World Festival as well as the FIRST Robotics Competition Championship took place at the Edward Jones Dome and America's Center. The new arrangement was designed to give an "Olympic Village" feel and allow for more space to expand each individual program. In 2017, the Championship was split into 2 championships, one occurring in Houston and the other a week later in St. Louis. The second Championship was moved to Detroit for 2018 and 2019. In 2020, FIRST decided to move the closing ceremonies for all programs from Minute Maid Park and Ford Field to the convention centers in Houston and Detroit respectively. The 2020 FIRST season was suspended on March 12, 2020, resulting in the cancellation of the Championship events in Houston and Detroit, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The FIRST LEGO League World Championship was held as a virtual competition on April 18 and 19, 2020 and hosted by FLL Share and Learn. The 2021 FIRST Championship in Houston and Detroit were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The events were replaced by a virtual ceremony at the 2021 FIRST Global Innovation Awards on June 28–30, 2021. Despite originally announcing dates for both Detroit and Houston for 2022, the 2022 FIRST Championship is now scheduled solely for Houston and is planned for April 20-23, 2022. (en)
  • De FIRST Championship is een vierdaags robotica-kampioenschap, jaarlijks gehouden in april. Gedurende enkele jaren werd het evenement gehouden in de Georgia Dome in Atlanta, maar het verhuisde in 2011 naar de Edward Jones Dome, in St. Louis, Missouri, waar het tot 2017 gehouden werd. Door de enorme groei in het aantal teams zijn er sinds 2017 twee kampioenschappen. Deze worden gehouden in de Edward Jones Dome en in het George R. Brown Convention Center en Minute Maid Park in Houston. De FIRST Championship verhuisde in 2018 naar Detroit, Michigan in het TCF Center en Ford Field. Het evenement bestaat uit vier programma's: het FIRST Robotics Competition-kampioenschap, het FIRST Tech Challenge-wereldkampioenschap, het FIRST Lego League-wereldfestival en de -wereldexpo.Het FIRST Championship wordt normaal gesproken gehouden in samenhang met de FIRST Championship Conference, die een breed scala aan onderwerpen op het gebied van wetenschap, technologie, engineering en robotica behandelt. De FIRST Robotics Competition is een competitieprogramma voor hogeschoolstudenten waarin ze een robot van 120 pond (54 kg) moeten bouwen die verschillende taken moet kunnen uitvoeren. De FIRST Tech Challenge is een middelgroot competitieprogramma voor middelbarescholieren en middelbarescholieren met een beter toegankelijke en betaalbare robotica-kit. De FIRST LEGO League is een competitieprogramma voor basisschool- en middelbarescholieren die LEGO Mindstorms-robotica-kits gebruiken. Teams van elk programma concurreren in toernooien op nationaal en regionaal niveau. De winnende teams van elk van deze toernooien nemen deel aan de wereldwijde competitie op het FIRST Championship. Het kampioenschap van 2011 was ook gastheer voor de Collegiate Aerial Robotics Demonstration (CARD), een pilot-collegiaal FIRST-programma. In 2015 werd aangekondigd dat het FIRST Championship zou worden verdeeld over meerdere locaties om uit te breiden. De nieuwe Innovation Faire, met displays en demonstraties van sponsors, partners en leveranciers, vond plaats in het Renaissance St. Louis Grand Hotel. Het FIRST Tech Challenge Wereldkampioenschap en het Wereldfestival vonden plaats in Union Station (St. Louis), en het FIRST LEGO League Wereldfestival en het FIRST Robotics Competition kampioenschap vonden plaats in het Edward Jones Dome en America's Center. Het nieuwe arrangement is ontworpen om een "olympisch dorp" -gevoel te geven en meer ruimte te bieden om elk individueel programma uit te breiden. In 2017 werd het kampioenschap opgesplitst in 2 kampioenschappen; het ene vond plaats in Houston en het andere een week later in Saint Louis. Het tweede kampioenschap in Saint Louis werd verplaatst naar Detroit voor 2018 en blijft tot 2020 daar. (nl)
