With thousands of participants worldwide each year, the FIRST Robotics Competition aims to get students involved in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. Each season concludes with two FIRST Championship events in Houston from April 15 to 18, 2020 and Detroit from April 29 to May 2, 2020.

“We look forward to the opportunity to support FIRST and the FIRST Robotics Competition each year,” stated Jeff Smoot, VP of Engineering at CUI Devices. “Their mission to inspire the future-generation of engineers aligns closely with our own values and we wish the students success during this competition season and into the future,” Smoot concluded.
