2025 Competition Roles

---

 The Drive Team is made up of four key roles: the Driver, who controls the robot’s movement on the field; the Operator (Lifeboat), who manages the robot’s scoring mechanisms; the Human Player, who interacts with game elements from the sidelines; and the Drive Coach, who guides strategy and communication during matches. Working behind the scenes, the Scouting Team collects data on other robots throughout the event to inform strategic decisions, alliance selections, and match planning. Together, these roles are critical to a team’s success—combining communication, strategy, and real-time performance to represent what FIRST is all about.

Student Ambassadors represent FIRST by giving tours to VIPs, sponsors, and special guests during competitions. They share their personal experiences, explain the game, and showcase the impact of robotics and STEM. It’s a great opportunity for students to develop leadership and communication skills while promoting the values of FIRST.

The Media Team captures the heart of the competition through photography, videography, and social media. They document the team’s journey, highlight key moments, and keep families, fans, and the community updated in real time. Their work not only showcases Team 2992’s story but also helps inspire others by sharing the impact of robotics and STEM.
