FTC is designed for students in grades 7-12 to compete head to head, using a sports model. Teams are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is programmed using a variety of languages. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as for well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments.

The FIRST Tech Challenge is the name of the FIRST robotics table top sized robotics competitions. In years prior to 2007 it was called the FIRST VEX Challenge.

In 2007 it used the VEX parts in a game called Quad-Quandary. The following year for Face Off it used Lego based components. In 2008 was the creation of the VEX Robotic Challenge
