How do I register my team for FIRST® Robotics Competition?

You begin the two-level registration process with national FIRST® registration. When you complete the short process (around 20 minutes) and pay your registration fee, you will receive:

– An official team number

Once your team is registered with FIRST® nationally, the coach or team representative must register with FIRST® Washington. Registering with FIRST® Washington will allow you to participate in the event registration process in October and the opportunity to compete in local competitions, qualifiers and regional championships.

Veteran teams are only required to renew your team profile every year after first registration, to confirm your participation.

Students participating in FIRST® Robotics Competition must register themselves in the team profile each year, to create a network between all competing members, and to ensure all the necessary paperwork is completed.
