1st CheckPoint

From check-in to season reports, all in one place. Event check-in software built for the FIRST® robotics community — it counts who showed up, and it keeps a way to reach them if something goes wrong.

Why It Exists

Two jobs that matter more than they look

Underneath a simple check-in screen, 1st CheckPoint quietly does the two things every event organizer actually needs.

Impact Data

Prove your program is working

FIRST programs run on grants, sponsorships, and reporting. Before 1st CheckPoint, attendance lived on paper — slow to collect, easy to get wrong, nearly impossible to add up across a season.

  • Digital check-in that accumulates automatically
  • Headcounts for youth, mentors, and spectators
  • Per-event reports and season-wide analytics
  • Numbers ready when reporting season arrives
Safety

Reach the right person, fast

Every team checking in provides an emergency contact for the day. It may never be needed — but knowing it's one tap away gives organizers real peace of mind.

  • Day-of emergency contact for every team
  • Collected fresh at every event
  • Gated access, separate from day-to-day check-in
  • Automatically scrubbed one week after the event
How It Works

Built for real event days

Designed around the check-in table: a laptop, a line of teams, imperfect wifi, and zero tolerance for downtime.

Create Events Your Way

Set programs, event type, and whether rosters or contact info are collected — Kickoffs, tournaments, workshops, outreach, you decide.

Self-Serve Check-In

Coaches enter their own team's information at the table. A volunteer seeing the app cold on event morning can run it without help.

Offline Resilient

If the connection drops mid check-in, entries are cached locally and sync automatically once you're back online.

Season Analytics

Program-by-program statistics and cross-event data, cumulative across the season — ready for PDO and fiscal-year reporting.

Privacy by Design

Youth participants are counted, never named. Team rosters stay on paper, deliberately — the app records only that one was turned in.

Accessible to Everyone

Built toward WCAG 2.1 AA for an audience that spans teenagers to senior citizens, with motion that respects your settings.
