Volunteer with FIRST!
These amazing events need people like you. Training is available for all referees and judges. Judges may even complete the training online. Rubrics and score sheets are used to keep consistency between the teams.
Volunteer Opportunities
Referees carefully watch the actions of one team and robot during each round at their table, apply the rules consistently and accurately, record scores on Scoring Sheets and confirm the score with the team.
Robot Design Judges evaluate the teams design, development and programming of their robot. Programming and mechanical design experience is a benefit of this role.
Project Judges evaluate the teams’ problem identification, innovative solution and with whom they share their solution. The theme for this year is architecture. Experience with the theme is worthwhile, but not necessary.
Core Value Judges evaluate the teams’ ability to work together. Experience working with students or teams is worthwhile, but not necessary. Teachers and coaches make great Core Value judges.
General Volunteers provide assistance in the following ways/areas: time keeping, field attendants, team queuer, pit crew (including pit managers and pit runners), information area, escorts, and registration area.
