Overview

Awesome FIRST Robotics Competition (Awesome FRC) is a curated GitHub directory of packages, tools, and learning resources for teams participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), a global high school robotics challenge. It aggregates community-maintained links to software, libraries, guides, and other materials relevant to FRC robot design, programming, and team operations.

    • Java/Kotlin
    • C++
    • C#
    • Python

  • Contributions from multiple community members (contributors listed in GitHub).
  • Organized README structure for easy navigation of topics.

Target Audience

• FRC student team members (programmers, builders, drivers, scouts).

Pricing

• Free – The Awesome FRC list and its contents (the curated index itself) are available at no cost as a public GitHub repository. Any external tools or services linked from the list may have their own pricing, but that is outside the scope of this directory.

License
