The 2016 FedEx Innovation Challenge, an interactive social-media competition, that was open to all FRC and FTC teams in the US. The Innovation Challenge took place from January 9 – February 21, 2016.
Part problem solving, part creative challenge, this fun and engaging competition consisted of math and science problems, scavenger hunt activities, and more.
Participating teams were required to submit responses in the form of a photo using either Twitter or Instagram. All responses were judged on the accuracy of their answer, creativity of the response and the level of team participation and spirit.

- $5,000 and a VIP experience trip to FIRST Championship

- $1,000, a roboRIO controller and a Dell Alienware laptop
