The 1994 FIRST Robotics Competition was the only official event of the [[1994]] FIRST Robotics Competition season. The event took place in the Nashua High School gym on February 24th to 26th, 1994. February 24th was a practice day with weigh-in and inspection as well as team photographs beginning in the afternoon. Seeding rounds occured on Friday the 25th. After seeding rounds an awards celebration was held at the Center of New Hampshire. The National Championship tournament and presentation of the [[Chairmen's Award]] took place on Saturday the 26th.

Two playing fields were set up in the gym. A large projection screen showed live video feed of the matches. Seeding rounds took place to determine a seeding order before the double elimination tournament and best two out of three rounds. The pit area was in the school cafe.

Seeded 44th was also "E-Systems Inc.," seemingly the other machine repaired by E-Systems to fill the space in the double elimination bracket.

Larger awards this year were small models of the central goal structure with scored balls. Smaller awards had a hexagonal base with wooden rods extending upwards with a ball suspended by the rods that looked similar to the point-doubling ball scored in the [[2004]] mobile goal.
