It depends what you have had experience with. FIRST requires that animators use 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, or something else I can't remember to create your submission. You should at least be a bit familiar with the basics of the interfaces of one of these programs.
My first year, I learned most of 3ds Max by looking up tutorials, and for learning Maya I went to a 3-week summer camp.
I guess it depends how good you are with a) any of the required programs b) learning a program and/or c) following directions

If you want to give it a try and you need help, there are plenty of people here you can turn to. I can help a bit, but I'm kinda still getting the hang of it myself.
Good luck
