2011 Annual Report

w w w . u s f i r s t. o r g
For over 20 years, FIRST® Founder Dean Kamen
and everyone associated with FIRST have been on a mission to spread
the word about the many educational, societal, economical, and
will.i.am
planetary benefits of getting youth and adults alike involved in the FIRST
experience. Despite not having access to the millions of marketing
dollars required to make FIRST a household “brand,” the program has
continued to grow each year at a blistering pace.
In 2011, however, thanks to the fervent interest of major figures
in government, the media, and mainstream entertainment, the
“volume” of voices promoting FIRST...
...GOT Turned up loud...very loud!
Making it louder
Willow Smith
Dean Kamen
Morgan Freeman
Soledad O’Brien
…and louder
Books, magazines, newspapers, cable TV, and the Web helped us create noise,
too, with ongoing national coverage by Bloomberg, CNN, Popular Mechanics,
Popular Science, Wired, ESPN Magazine, WallStreetJournal.com, and more.
Author Neal Bascomb brought the FIRST experience to life in his inspiring
book, The New Cool. Time Warner Cable incorporated
FIRST into its national “Connect A Million Minds™”
initiative, featuring our FRC program in its TV show
“It Ain’t Rocket Science.”
The clamor of FIRST recognition continues to grow
louder every day. The continuing mainstream exposure
is helping propel us toward our goal of making FIRST
known and recognized around the globe. Will your
company, your circle of influence, your personal
voice be the next to join the chorus?
In January, 2011, a timely phone call to Dean Kamen by music mogul, tech entrepreneur,
and The Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am kicked off an amazing season-long
collaboration of unusual bedfellows, culminating in a national television special on the
ABC Network in August dedicated to promoting science and FIRST (“i.am FIRST® –
Science is Rock and Roll”). will.i.am pledged his continuing support to the program in an
effort to “turn science and engineering up loud.” The entertainer delivered with a full-tilt
The Black Eyed Peas concert for attendees of the FIRST Championship in St. Louis, which
was filmed for the TV special and featured appearances by a long list of celebrities —
Jack Black, Steven Tyler, Bono, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, and many more.
President Obama even had a cameo!
…and louder

President Barack Obama, along with White House Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra,
continued to feature FIRST teams as perfect examples of the president’s national White
House Science Fair initiative promoting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and
math) education and celebrating science and math achievement in American schools.
In May, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien produced and hosted a well-received documentary
on American education (“Don’t Fail Me: Education in America” ) which followed three
FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®) teams as they worked through the year’s challenge,
LOGO MOTION™. For millions of viewers, it was an eye-opening introduction to the
world of FIRST and its importance in our collective future.
Ryan Hart FIRST put me on the path to engineering and has
allowed me to gain first hand experience doing something that
is both fun and rewarding. There is nothing like the feeling of
watching the robot that you built go out on the field and win!

President Obama Introducing ABC special about FIRST
“If our kids study hard in math and science, then their futures are going to be bright, and so is America’s.
Now, may the best robot win … ”
Every year, at the Championship and at FIRST events across the country and globally, we give
FIRST participants the same challenge... “homework,” if you will.
Go out and make FIRST loud!
Talk about it with everyone you know. Shout about it at every opportunity. Let everyone you can know
what a life-altering, game-changing, planet-awakening social and educational experience FIRST is.
But despite constantly earning A’s on this assignment, and experiencing consistent yearly growth,
FIRST has continued to operate under the radar of the general public.
This year, however, we hit the jackpot. We couldn’t be more excited about the national and international attention FIRST has received from
luminaries in government, the media, publishing, and the diverse world of popular entertainment. All of a sudden, it seems that FIRST has
become, to borrow from author Neal Bascomb’s recent book title, the “new cool.” The national call for science, technology, engineering, and
math (STEM) education in our schools is reaching a crescendo and FIRST is helping lead the chorus. Of course, those of us involved in our
organization have believed this for decades. It just took a little time for the rest of the country to catch up!
We are extremely grateful to an endless list of people from many fields who have embraced FIRST and lent their influence, time, and
resources to help us pump up the excitement. For their passion and leadership, we recognize President Barack Obama, White House
Dean Kamen
Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra, entertainment mogul will.i.am and The Black Eyed Peas, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien,
Time Warner Cable’s NY1, Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman, and countless others whose names you will see in
this document. To all those who have shared their brilliance and vision with us, we thank you. And to the tens of thousands of Volunteers,
Mentors, Coaches, teachers, parents, friends, and fans who make FIRST run and help it continue to grow, you have our sincere and humble
gratitude. None of this would happen without you. You continue to inspire us all!
The world’s educational, political, and business leaders have once again been reminded that the future belongs to the innovators: the young
men and women now involved in the FIRST progression of programs. The U.S., in turn, must push harder for STEM education in our
schools. This year, we recommit ourselves to work for the day when FIRST programs are available to everyone who dreams of developing the
next generation of technological wonders.

community leaders, motivated employees, and model citizens. That so many of those same students return to help us
Working tirelessly together this year, thousands of people from all walks of life joined forces to make FIRST “louder.” As a result, we also helped make FIRST
“bigger,” with a quarter million young people aged 6-18 taking part in our four FIRST robotics programs, an overall 17 percent increase over 2010. Of course,
supporting and guiding all these motivated kids are more than 90,000 Volunteers — Mentors, Coaches, tournament organizers, fundraisers, Sponsors, emcees,
drivers, and a myriad of other jobs. Our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for seeing the potential of FIRST and diving in to help make it all happen.
Our hats are off to you once again.

In our 20th Season of the FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®), we continued to grow at record rates, with 2,072 teams participating in 59 events. But we
will not be satisfied until we inspire young people in every school in the U.S. to become science and technology leaders. Our success is also measured by the much
larger percentage of FIRST participants going to college and majoring in technology, engineering, and the sciences.

2011 was a banner year for many parts of the FIRST organization. Not only did CNN and ABC air specials on FIRST, but it was the inaugural year for a
new contest in our FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL®) program, the Global Innovation Award. FLL also saw growth across the globe with more than 167,000 9-16
year-olds (9-14 in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico) researching the human body in the “Body Forward®” Challenge. Junior FIRST® LEGO® League (Jr.FLL®)
enjoyed growth to over 12,000 6-9 year-olds on 2,147 teams from five countries, participating in more than 80 events. Our FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC®)
game, “Get Over It!™,” brought more than 16,000 high-school participants to 101 Qualifying and Championship Tournaments, and we piloted the program
in India and China. Our college scholarships reached nearly $15 million from nearly 150 colleges, universities, and companies in the U.S. and Canada. We
introduced our first “team sustainability program” — selling the FIRST Green e-watt saver LED bulb — with teams raising more than half a million dollars.
However, the most impactful findings come from our own students. They are our ambassadors, telling the story of FIRST as they build their robots, work at major
corporations and in government, attend college, and help the next generation of technology leaders and innovators as FIRST Mentors and Volunteers.

There are thousands of ways our community helps “make FIRST loud,” creating stories of inspiration, innovation, and contributions of time, talent, and
resources to develop the science and technology leaders we need in our future. If “louder” translates into “bigger,” then join me this coming year to continue to
turn the volume up. We need to engage more of our youth than ever before. Our collective futures depend on it — in our universities, our corporations, our
governments, and our communities. The momentum we’ve gained in 2011 is solid ground for strong growth in 2012 and beyond. Thank you for your passion and
all you have done to date. If you are ready, we have a much bigger and even more rewarding job to accomplish.

New Jersey Team “Makes It Loud” for Younger FIRST Teams
Turning up
the teams!
FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC®) Team 4220, the “Landroids,” is one the most enthusiastic, unofficial supporters of
all things FIRST, especially when it comes to inspiring young kids to join the FIRST progression of programs. The
all-boy team connected with industry experts to help expand the reach of Junior FIRST LEGO League (Jr.FLL) teams
across their state. In 2010, they hosted their annual Jr.FLL Expo, the largest outdoor, carnival-style Jr.FLL Expo in
the nation, with 16 New Jersey Jr.FLL teams, plus dozens of Volunteers. As part of the event,
THE LANDROIDS
the Landroids invited robotics surgeons from Livingston’s St. Barnabas Medical Center to be
the Reviewers, which dovetailed off of the Jr.FLL 2010 Body Forward Challenge.

Jr.FLL has found its place as the starting point
for making a life-long impact on the future
of science and technology. Spreading into
countries around the world, Jr.FLL celebrated
its first ever World Festival Expo held at the
FIRST Championship in St. Louis.
Reviewers witnessed the creative

Profile
From their own beginnings in 2007 as a
FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL®) team, the
Landroids have been documenting processes
and sharing organizational tips with local
parents interested in FIRST. Their focus
broadened from being an FLL team to organizing an FTC team, and inspired the formation
of several new teams. Eventually, they formed their own organization, the Livingston
Robotics Club, hosting elaborate summer workshops and lengthy in-person presentations.
The team’s community efforts have since expanded into a state-wide outreach.

1,203
“Beyond building robots, we should leverage the innovation, inspiration, and
interconnection that FIRST has brought to us,” said Landroids’ Coach Pearl Hwang.

When asked about the team’s success and extraordinary level of commitment, FIRST
New Jersey Regional Director Don Bowers said, “The Landroids have incorporated
continued renewal into their game — first they renew themselves by progressing
through FIRST challenges, second by giving back to the community, and finally
by competing in national robotics competitions that build upon the skills they’ve
learned from FIRST.”

Junior FIRST® LEGO® League (Jr.FLL®)
continued to see double digit growth with more than 2,100 teams
participating in the 2010/2011 Body Forward® Challenge. Jr.FLL captures
young children’s inherent curiosity and directs it toward discovering the
wonders of science and technology. Jr.FLL features a real-world Challenge,
which teams solve through research, critical thinking, and imagination.
Guided by adult Coaches and the Jr.FLL Core Values, students work with
LEGO elements and moving parts to build ideas and concepts and present
them for review. During the Body Forward season, children aged
6 to 9 researched the human body and what might go wrong with it.
Teams discovered how Biomedical Engineering helps people get
and stay healthy.

FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL®),
in its 12th season, had a total of 16,720 teams of
9 to 16-year-old children (9 to 14 in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico)
from more than 60 countries, tasked with solving a real-world problem in
the field of biomedical engineering. A set of Core Values, which serves as
the over-arching way FLL teams go about learning, sharing, and working
as a team, guided teams as they participated in programming a custommade, autonomous robot to perform theme-related missions using LEGO
MINDSTORMS® technology. Through the Body Forward® Challenge,
teams discovered what could go wrong with the human body and presented
their innovative solutions to panels of judges.
The 2010/2011 season included more than 540 qualifying events and
100 Championship Tournaments. This year, two Open Championships
were held, and 84 teams gathered at the World Festival in St. Louis to
celebrate the season. The Global Innovation Award, in its inaugural year,
provided an extension to the FLL season through an online competition
designed to help teams learn about intellectual property.

First Prize went to The Flying Monkeys, a Girl Scout FLL team from Ames, Iowa that more
than met the challenge with BOB-1, their multifunctional prosthetic hand device, which will help
people with limb abnormalities hold, grip, and
secure items. Their invention — made of moldable plastic, a pencil grip, and Velcro — was inspired by
Danielle Fairchild, the Duluth, Georgia toddler who was born without fingers on her dominant hand. As
part of their research, the team members met with a prosthetics manufacturer, an occupational therapist,
and people with limb differences, and then designed the easy-to-use and cost-effective prototype.
10,941
In addition to the tremendous satisfaction of helping the Georgia toddler — as well as the potential
to help many others like her in the future — The Flying Monkeys also received $20,000 from the
X PRIZE Foundation, which will be applied to cover costs associated with the patenting process.
The awards ceremony, held in Alexandria, Virginia this past June, also acknowledged a number
of patent-pending inventions developed by other FLL teams, recognizing their creativity,
compassion, and innovation. Winners were selected from more than 170 submissions from
15 countries. The entries were voted on by the public and then judged by an expert panel to
determine the most patentable ideas.

FTC makes it loud and “Dirty”
Turning up

When The Black Eyed Peas’ frontman will.i.am needed to build a robot for his groundbreaking appearance at the
2011 FIRST Championship, he turned to FIRST Tech Challenge and Team 3509, “Phoenxtrix,” of Folsom, California.

FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC®) experienced an
unprecedented 45 percent growth in teams in the 2010/2011
season. There were more than 16,000 high-school students on
1,606 teams, in five countries, competing in 101 Qualifying
and Championship Tournaments and one World Championship
Tournament. One hundred twenty-eight teams earned the right to compete
in the FTC World Championship in St. Louis. will.i.am, frontman for
The Black Eyed Peas, chose to feature FTC Team 3509, “Phoenxtrix,”
in the “i.am FIRST – Science is Rock and Roll” television special on the
ABC Network. In the FTC “GET OVER IT!™” game, teams of up to 10
students used a combination of sensors, including infrared tracking (IR), line
following, magnet seeking, and ultrasonic touch, to program their robots to
operate in both autonomous and driver-controlled modes. Robots executed
both offensive and defensive strategies to score batons into stationary and
rolling goals. Guided by adult Mentors, FTC teams designed, built, and
competed in an Alliance format and used a modular robotics platform,
applying real-world math and science concepts.
FIRST Tech Challenge “made it loud” for students
around the world when will.i.am showed them how
accessible FTC can be to participants from diverse
ethnic, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds.
Students in the program develop team-building
and problem solving skills while applying
799
real-world math and science principles.
They gain confidence in themselves, learn
to work together as a team, and develop
a greater understanding of innovation

and engineering — and feel the thrill of
success. They are becoming the
next generation of science
and technology leaders
who are not only

In addition to building and qualifying their own robot for the FTC World Championship,
Phoenxtrix also acted as the design and build team for will.i.am’s robot. With guidance from
Ken Johnson, FTC Director, the project was kept under wraps until its debut at the World
Championship in April.
A highlight of the World Championship
event was the FTC Celebrity Match featuring
FIRST Founder Dean Kamen with Team
2859, “Team Tiki,” from McLean,
Virginia; FIRST President Jon Dudas with
FTC Team 311, “the Fem Bots,” from
Williamston, South Carolina; and will.i.am’s “Dirty Bot.” Under intense media scrutiny and
tough competition, “Dirty Bot” emerged as the winning FTC Celebrity Alliance.

The spotlight on FTC and Phoenxtrix didn’t end there. “Dirty Bot” was the focus of
numerous national interviews and stories promoting FTC. The robot logged thousands of
travel miles promoting FIRST, including making an appearance on “Piers Morgan Tonight,”
and will.i.am’s FTC experience became the key storyline in “i.am FIRST – Science is Rock
and Roll.” The ABC Network special celebrated the 20th annual FIRST Championship
and also featured live performances by The Black Eyed Peas and Willow Smith.
“Dirty Bot” is now de-commissioned and still proudly belongs to will.i.am.

“Loud” and Local:
Mentor Says Never Underestimate the Power of a FIRST Challenge
Turning up

When asked how he ended up with “the best job in the world,” FIRST Robotics Competition Coach, Mentor, and
Associate Director of the Robotics Resource Center at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) Brad Miller says he
spent so much time working on robotics-related activities that WPI had no choice but to make it official.

In 2011, the FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®)
celebrated its 20th season, commemorating two decades of
innovation in science, technology, engineering, and math. More
than 51,000 high-school students (2,072 teams, including 410
rookie teams) from 11 countries took on the LOGO MOTION™
engineering challenge. Three-team Alliances competed on a
27' x 54' field, earning points by hanging inflated triangle, circle, and
square logo pieces during a match lasting two minutes and 15 seconds.
Bonus points were earned for arranging pieces to form the FIRST logo
and for deploying mini-bots to climb vertical poles. Teams participated
in 48 Regional Competitions, nine District Competitions and one
State Championship in Michigan, and the FRC Championship at
the Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis, Missouri. This past year, team
members were eligible to apply for nearly $15 million in college
scholarships from nearly 150 providers.

In 2000, the Massachusetts college’s Associate Provost suggested Miller check out a
FIRST event. Miller was so impressed by the enthusiasm of the FIRST students that he
asked the Mentor of Team 190 — from Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science
High School — if he could help. He has been
mentoring the team ever since.
Miller helps with training at Kickoff
Workshops for Mentors and gives pregame sessions that get FRC teams up to
speed for the coming season. In addition, he created WPILib, a software library that simplifies
the process of programming the robots. This software is available to all FRC teams.
One of the most rewarding aspects of Miller’s time with FIRST has been the opportunity
to watch teams take software that he developed and use it to do things they “never thought
possible; to solve problems they thought were out of their reach.”
Miller is grateful for the opportunity WPI has provided him. “I feel fortunate
to be working at a school that thinks so highly of the FIRST program,” says Miller,
who adds that WPI sponsors two FRC teams, is an Operational Partner for
FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL®) in Massachusetts, and hosts an FRC Regional
Competition, as well as the Massachusetts State FLL Championship.

Although he has earned many
awards in his tenure with the
organization, Delaware-area FIRST
Mentor John Larock says receiving
this year’s Woodie Flowers Award
— in recognition of Mentors who
lead, inspire, and empower
using excellent communication
skills — is a special honor.
While thrilled to receive the
coveted award, Larock is
quick to note his work with FIRST is
about more than just awards. Rather, it’s about
his consummate passion when encouraging students —
and the entire state of Delaware — to embrace FIRST
and the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and
math) disciplines.
Larock, who during his “spare” time is a University
Relations and College Recruiting Manager at DuPont,
has been instrumental in the company’s support of many
FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams and the FRC
Philadelphia Regional. As Mentor of FRC Team 365 “Miracle
Workerz” — aka “MOE” — Larock partnered with Salem
Community College (SCC) and FRC Team 316 “LuNaTeCs”
to develop the off-season “Duel on the Delaware” robotics
competition, now in its tenth year.
Another “claim to fame” is Larock’s creation of MOE U
and a corresponding robotics curriculum. The fall training
program helps students earn up to 18 college credits at
SCC while learning engineering and machine shop skills.
In 2003, he also developed MOEmentum, a web-based
weekly guide for rookie FRC teams. In addition, the
prolific Mentor, with the help of team members, designed
a one-day competition to introduce FIRST to students in
Northern Ireland.
On a daily basis, Larock coaches FIRST strategists, scouts,
and Mentors. In addition, Larock has given hundreds of
presentations and demos at schools, community events,
and businesses on behalf of FIRST.
As an enthusiastic advocate for FIRST, Larock is a welldeserved recipient of the Woodie Flowers Award. As one
Mentor said so well, “When the Woodie Flowers Award was
created, it was as if they had John in mind.”

scholarship
providers
FIRST
is all about
educational opportunities.
In 2011, all FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team
members were eligible for over 930 scholarship
opportunities, valued at more than $14.8 million.
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) students were eligible
for nearly $9.7 million of these scholarship funds.
The majority of FIRST scholarships are provided
by colleges or universities for enrollment at their
campuses. The rest are provided by corporations
and professional associations and are awarded
for use at any school. Listed in this 2011 report
(page 22) are 148 FIRST Scholarship Providers,
22 of which are new this year.
Some FIRST scholarships are awarded for special
majors such as engineering, math, science,
computer science, or technology. Others can
be used for any course of study. The values
of scholarships vary from full tuition to under
$1,000. Most are renewable annually if the student
maintains an acceptable academic average.

Since initiating
its involvement
with FIRST in 2001,
The Boeing
Company —
the 2011
FIRST Founder’s Award
recipient — has donated scholarships
and provided employee Volunteers and countless
Mentors to the organization, as well as sponsored
numerous teams (more than 150 FIRST Robotics
Competition teams through grants and Mentors
last season alone).
The Founder’s Award, presented annually for
exceptional service in advancing the ideals
and mission of FIRST, was accepted by Boeing
Senior Vice President of Human Resources and
Administration Rick Stephens, who pledged
continued commitment in helping FIRST reach
its strategic objectives for growth. Boeing is
also a FIRST Strategic Partner and a
Championship Sponsor.
“These young innovators will solve the problems we
don’t know exist yet,” said Stephens, who added
that the partnership with FIRST builds on Boeing’s
ongoing commitment to inspire future engineers
and scientists.
FIRST Founder Dean Kamen applauded the efforts
of Boeing at this year’s Championship, saying it’s
an extraordinary company “that has made dreams
fly and become a reality for thousands of students
who would not otherwise have had an opportunity to
participate in FIRST.”

Sarah Hirst I have been a FLL coach for 4 yrs at a low income school where I teach that has a very diverse population, of
which about half are ELL students. Offering a FLL after school program has changed the lives of some of my students and
provided them with positive opportunities they would have never experienced otherwise.

We moved into FTC in 2010 after 2 great seasons of FLL. We’re in awe of Jr.FLL’rs who

FIRST has transformed our team members – Bob & Lisa Payne, Coaches

FIRST introduced me to something that I liked to do, I was good at, could make a
living doing, and a new crowd to become friends with. FIRST inspired me to work hard
and never give up. The FIRST program has given me lots of great experiences and
memories I’ll hold onto forever.
