About the JROTC Robotics Program
The Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF) is proud to offer our robotics competition programs to Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine, Space Force, and Coast Guard JROTC programs. Cadets and students alike design, build, modify, and program robots in JROTC invitational events and blended competitions. Cadet-lead teams compete throughout the competition season with the goal of attending the JROTC National Championship.
