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 2076 teams competing at 63 events worldwide, FRC Tracker downloads data on the thousands of matches as they are played. FRC Tracker Photo Sharing New in version 1.4, this service allows users to upload photos of team robots to share with other teams. This will be a dedicated service moderated by the FRC Tracker staff to ensure timely review of photos so they are available to the community. Finals View New in version 1.5, this view shows the state of the elimination matches as teams are narrowed down to the finalist and winning alliances.
