The 1994 FIRST Robotics Competition was the only official event of the 1993 FIRST Robotics Competition season. The event took place in the Bishop Guertin High School gym on February 25th to 27th, 1993.

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.

Team list and seedings

More information about pre-1998 team numbers is available here.
*Team -61 was caught in a snowstorm and did not make it to competition until the final day of competition and were given the seeding position of 43rd.
**Team -99 and team 148 both experienced serious machine failure and the two teams ended up combining and focusing on the more reliable machine. In 1996 Dallas Christian and Greenville formally combined into team 148. Seeded 44th was also "E-Systems Inc.," seemingly the other machine repaired by E-Systems to fill the space in the double elimination bracket.

Partial awards list

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.
