FIRST STEAMWORKS, the 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition game, invites two adventure clubs from an era in which technology relied on steam power to prepare their airships for the ultimate long distance race. Teams score points by loading fuel (balls) in a boiler in order to build steam pressure and by delivering gears to the airship enabling team members to start the airship's rotors turning. At the end of the time period, robots can climb a rope to ascend to airship and score additional points.

Thank you to all of the organizations and individuals who have stepped up and donated! Without your support, we would not have been able to deliver such an engaging, educational and fun competition season. We are deeply grateful for the good wishes and encouragement that we have received. We continue be thrilled and moved by our community's generosity.
During the summer and fall, we welcome new members, teach new skills and bring robotics to our local communities. We hope to see you at our outreach events!
Our team does not charge a membership fee, and is entirely grant and donation funded. As such, we look to the community and region around us for support. We are asking for your support for our team. Your tax deductible donation of any size will add to the stability of our team and our ability to deliver robotics experiences throughout the region. Thank you in advance for your gift to our team. Members are excited to learn what the new season, FIRST STEAMWORKS, will bring and look forward to sharing our engineering challenges, successes, (sometimes even failures!) and achievements with the whole Monadnock Region!
