Turn Up the Volume!
In CRESCENDOSM presented by Haas, FIRST© Robotics Competition teams will use their STEM skills and creative power to turn up the volume as they design, build, and program their robots for action-packed game play. Watch the game animation to inspire ideas.
For Teams
Lodging
Breakfast and Lunch combos are available for teams interested in pre-ordering meals. Please email [email protected] with your order details. WE will label each combo. We accept cash, credit, or checks made payable to DRHS Robotics Booser. Ask about our Gluten Free Options.
Preorders close March 8, 2024 at 5pm.
Be sure to bring a paper copy of your roster to your event to turn into pit admin. Paper rosters can be printed from your Dashboard at FIRST Inspires. Your roster should have a green checkmark next to every team member AND coach/mentor.
This indicates that all people associated with the team have signed a Consent and Release form. You may not compete without Consent and Release forms on file.
In an effort to reduce paper and potential data risks, FIRST Inspires encourages teams to use these resources to register their children and sign the Consent and Release.

To Be Announced
Appropriate safety attire, including safety glasses, ling hair tied back and closed-toe shoes, are required while in the pits.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times in the pit area. Teams are responsible for providing their team members AND guests with safety glasses.
We encourage all visitors to stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of illness, especially shortness of breath, fever, cough, or congestion.
Remember to also clean up after your teams and only go into areas that are permitted while at the venue.
If you have not already, make sure you check out and review the questions and answers on the FIRST Robotics Competition Official Q&A Forum. More questions and answers are added weekly.
For Volunteers
FIRST® volunteers are part of a global robotics community preparing young people for the future. Even if you only have a few hours to give, your contribution can make a difference. Working side by side with FIRST participants, volunteers play an important role in shaping young minds and inspiring students to achieve.
Volunteer roles range from safety attendants and field reset to judges, emcees, and referees. Volunteering at an event is a great way to share technical or professional knowledge, but you do not need special skills or expertise to volunteer.
For Attendees
If you would like to, you can RSVP below.
As we work as a community to prepare young people for a STEM future, FIRST aims to ensure its programs have a lasting, positive impact on all participants.
Join us in our mission to empower the young minds of DC, MD, and VA. Together, we can spark innovation, foster diversity, and make the impossible possible. Your support is not just a donation; it’s an investment in the future.
Together, let’s build a brighter, more innovative future.
All of our events are live-streamed and recorded.
