THE GAMES
A New Challenge Every Year
At the start of each season, every robotics challenge gets a new game that their robots will compete in for the rest of the season. The game is standardized, and is the same at every competition until the season is over and a new one is released. Most games follow a tournament structure, with a round of qualifying matches followed by a bracket consisting of the top alliances.

During the 2024-2025 FIRST season, FIRST® DIVEâ„ presented by Qualcomm, teams will use their STEM and collaboration skills to explore life beneath the surface of the ocean.
