FIRST Robotics Competition in Duluth

Starting February 26, 2025, the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center transforms into a regional hub of innovation for the FIRST Robotics Competition Duluth Regionals. About 54 teams from the Lake Superior and Northern Lights Regions will gather to showcase their cutting-edge robots. This year’s project—Reefscape—is all about using engineering skills to protect and strengthen one of the ocean’s most diverse habitats. Teams design and build robots that compete in dynamic matches by placing “coral” pipes, scoring on “barges,” and ascending to earn bonus points. The challenge pushes competitors to work within strict size and weight constraints while emphasizing creative problem-solving and teamwork. Spectators will experience intense matches, innovative robot designs in action, and the collaborative spirit of mentors and student inventors. Join us from February 26 to March 1 and celebrate regional ingenuity and the future of robotics in Duluth!
