FIRST Interactive Rural SupporT was established as a service to the FIRST community in order to support, maintain, strengthen, and begin FIRST Robotics teams across rural America. Initiated by Cybersonics Technology Team 103, this network will help rural teams to overcome obstacles such as distance from potential corporate sponsors, and to increase community support, involvement and awareness.

For teams in need of mentoring or other assistance, please consult the list of teams willing to do so here.
