All of the AUVSI (IGVC , IARC , UAV and AUV) , Robocup , IEEE Regional Robotics Competitions, Firefighting, and NASA robotics competitions are all great opportunities. Although, the majority of these competitions can't hold a candle to FIRST's size, excitement and overall organization. These competitions have a long history with many challenging problems for students to solve. Robocup is great for computer science because the hardware does not change from year to year, many of the AUVSI competitions are very interesting for robotics fans because they are looking closer at the commercial needs of the robotics community.
