Introduction 
The FIRST™ Robotics Competition (FRC) is an annual, worldwide robotics competition that teaches high school students math, science, technology and teamwork in a varsity sport environment. In just six weeks, high school teams have to design, build, program and perfect 120-lb robots to compete with and against other teams. FRC Tracker follows the results of the six weeks of regional competitions leading up to the worldwide championship event. Tracking 1677 teams competing at 49 events worldwide, FRC Tracker includes data on 6,328 matches played up through April 26, 2009. The Blue Alliance graciously provides a database for FIRST teams. FRC Tracker can download robot photos from TBA and uses TBA data to augment offical FIRST information, so team members are encouraged to add their team data and robot photos to TBA.
