The Benefits of FIRST

How to Get Involved

Students involved with the FIRST Robotics Club at Victor High School are exposed to engineering and software design problems as well as media and marketing challenges. 

Teamwork is essential to the success of our students as they
work with professionals to creatively solve real-world problems


Our team works with adult mentors who provide insight and guidance along the way as students learn to work in a professional environment.

Each year thousands of man hours are invested in the season making student commitment essential.

A defining aspect of FIRST is the principle of gracious professionalism; where fierce competition and mutual gain are not separate notions. Gracious professionals learn and compete like crazy, but treat one another with respect and kindness in the process and most importantly, they avoid treating anyone like losers.

The FIRST program also provides over 9 million dollars in scholarships each year. Former Devil-Tech graduates have received scholarships to Clarkson, the Rochester Institute of Technology, and the University of Florida. FIRST was such a valuable experience that many of our former students have returned as volunteers, assistants, and mentors.
