From the machines that give us access to food to the wireless technologies that connect us, energy plays a vital role in how our world works. During our 2022-2023 robotics season, FIRST® ENERGIZE℠ presented by Qualcomm, FIRST teams will reimagine the future of sustainable energy. To empower students to be leaders and innovators, this year’s energy theme addresses global challenges linked to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #7 – focused on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. It’s time to motivate yourself to innovate.
In CHARGED UP℠ presented by Haas, two competing alliances are invited to process game pieces to bring energy to their community. Each alliance brings energy to their community by retrieving their game pieces from substations and scoring it into the grid. Human players provide the game pieces to the robots from the substations. In the final moments of each match, alliance robots race to dock or engage with their charge station!
Teams hope to stand out for the playoff rounds by performing in qualifying matches. All teams are also evaluated by a panel of judges and can earn awards, including some that qualify them for the FIRST World Championship in Houston, at the end of April.
