Welcome to the 2024 Governor's Cup!
The Governor's Cup planning committee is delighted to welcome New Hampshire FRC teams to the 7th Annual Governor's Cup off season event. The Governor’s Cup is an elite offseason event welcoming FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams from all over the state of New Hampshire to compete for awards and scholarships based on robot performance and judged elements. Started in cooperation with Governor Chris Sununu’s administration in 2018, The Governor’s Cup began as a full day of exhibition and competition. Scholarships will be awarded based on team performance in the competition and individual student nominations by team mentors.
You can read more about the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and the 2023-2024 season (Crescendo) below.
TEAMS: You will also find lots of information specific to The Governor's Cup Offseason Event in this collection of webpages. Please use these resources as a reference for our competition and your visit to Plymouth State University.
Good luck to all participating teams, and see you soon at PSU!

All parties should be informed that robots have the "right of way” in our pits, and that being aware of your surroundings at all times is critically important.
FIRST Robotics Competition
Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology.
"We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it 'the hardest fun you’ll ever have.'
Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team 'brand,' hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. "(via FIRSTInspires.org)
Crescendo: 2023/2024 Season
This year's game for FRC - Crescendo - celebrates "the roles our [STEAM] skills play in the arts and design". It encourages students through project-based, hands-on learning to work collaboratively, practicing skills such as engineering and coding in engaging, inclusive, and creative learning environments while highlighting potential STEAM career paths for alumni. This inspires students to get involved in "creating" their own future through curiosity, teamwork, and creativity.
"Teams will use their STEM skills and creative power to turn up the volume as they design, build, and program their robots for action-packed game play. Watch the game animation [to the right] to inspire ideas!" . (via FIRSTInspires.org)
