The 1996 National Championship was the second and final official competition of the 1996 FIRST Robotics Competition season. The championship took place at the American Gardens Theatre at the EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World from April 18th to 20th, 1996. The pit area was in a large tent. Two fields were set up on the stage of the American Gardens Theatre and matches would be played back and forth between the two fields to cut down on match turnaround time. A large screen showed live match video and scores as well as team animations between matches. More than 3,500 people attended the championship.
Driver stations at the championship were large color-coded platforms with the period U.S. FIRST logo on the front. Similar driver stations would be used up through 1999, being replaced by a full driver station wall in 2000. The blue position's driver station and goal triangle were painted in a very light shade of almost off-white with a little bit of bluish-purple instead of the deeper blue of the balls as was used at the 1996 New Hampshire Tournament.
