​Build Season​

In early January, FIRST releases the new season's challenge. From that day, known as Kickoff, students have six weeks to strategize, design, build, program, and assemble their robot. Students work up to 35 hours a week, on top of normal school and homework responsibilities. Almost everything is done in Ithaca High School by students with the support of mentors.
