The 2018 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) game was titled "FIRST Power Up." In this game, robots had to place power cubes onto balancing scales and switches to control them, as well as deliver power cubes to their alliance's vault. The theme was inspired by early video games, and it challenged teams to strategize and work together effectively to gain control of the game elements and achieve objectives, showcasing their engineering and programming skills while emphasizing cooperation and strategic planning.
