What is FIRST?

FIRST is an organization started by Dean Kamen, a leading inventor in the U.S. and father of the Segway and more. FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, and each year a new game is presented to challenge teams across the U.S. to design and build a Robot and compete in said competition in just six weeks. This year's competition is Lunacy, and here is an animation that describes the game:
