The FIRST Robot Controller ("FRC") is the required onboard computer that controls robots. It can be programmed in C using the MCC18 compiler. The FRC has a corresponding Operator Interface (OI) that takes inputs and transmits them via a 900mhz radio to the FRC. The FRC is similar in design and use to the 2004 Robovation. This RC includes a TTL port.

Note that in previous years, the FRC was very different.

Changes in 2005

The 2005 robot controller is identical to the 2004 one, except that:

• It has two pins for the backup battery instead of the socket
• It comes with version 10 of the firmware.

Changes in 2006

The primary change in 2006 was changing the processor from PIC18F8520 to a PIC18F8722.
