The FIRST Impact Award (formerly the Chairman’s Award) is the most prestigious award at FIRST, it honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the mission of FIRST. It was created to keep the central focus of FIRST Robotics Competition on the ultimate goal of transforming the culture in ways that will inspire greater levels of respect and honor for science and technology, as well as encouraging more of today’s youth to become science and technology leaders.
The concept of the FIRST Impact Award enables FIRST to recognize teams for their exemplary efforts in spreading the FIRST message. Teams must submit for this award by the deadline to be eligible for the award. After submitting, teams will receive an email to confirm the submission has been accepted and it will also list the events the team is eligible to be judged at. The teams who have earned the Regional and District Championship FIRST Impact Award can travel to the FIRST Championship to be considered for the FIRST Impact Award.

The Mission
At Ozone Robotics, we strive to make a change in our community. We are a team built upon the backs of the student members all across our district, and its our mission to give back to that same district. We work to bring STEM to everyone in our community, especially the younger students. That’s why Ozone has built a system to impact K-8 students in our area, and bring our robotics to millions of people in Central Ohio. In our 2026 submission we highlighted the opportunities we provided to K-8 students going back to 2023 and our commitment over the past 3 years to continue to grow this movement.
