These Payment terms apply to all FIRST Robotics Competition Teams except for Teams registering in the FIRST Israel (ISR) District, the FIRST Ontario (ONT) District, and the Pacific Northwest (PNW) District.
- Teams registering in the FIRST Israel (ISR) District, should see the FIRST Israel website for payment terms, fees, and payment due dates.
- Teams registering in the FIRST Ontario (ONT) District, should see the FIRST Robotics Canada website for payment terms, fees, and payment due dates.
- Teams registering in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) District, should see the Washington FIRST Robotics website for payment terms, fees, and payment due dates.

FIRST Robotics Competition |
2021 Registration Fee | Payment Due Date |
Rookie Team* | $3,000.00 | 11/16/2020 |
Veteran Team** | $2,000.00 | 11/16/2020 |
FIRST will continue to work with teams on an individual basis after the Payment Due Date to help them make their payment. Missing the Payment Due Date does not mean teams have missed their chance to participate in the upcoming season but may lead to them getting their Kit of Parts late and having less opportunity to get the most popular FIRST Choice items.
*Rookie: Read full criteria
**Veteran: Any team that has played in 2018 or later, or otherwise not classified as a Rookie
All Registration Fees are payable in U.S. Dollars only.

REFUND POLICY
Registration Fees are only refundable if (i) the refund request is submitted to and acknowledged by FIRST Operations (customerservice@firstinspires.org) before the Team receives the Kickoff Kit, and (ii) the Team refuses receipt of the Kickoff Kit if it has been shipped from FIRST. Once a Team receives the Kickoff Kit, the Team’s Registration Fee becomes non-refundable. There are no exceptions to this regardless of reason, and this applies even if the FIRST Robotics Competition season is canceled in part or in whole.
