Robotics Team Builds to Success It’s the dawn of a new year, and high school robotics participants, like James McCarson, and others around the world eagerly wait for a new season of competition to start in full bloom.
The date is Jan. 7, 2006, and after eight long months of mystery and speculation, robotics enthusiasts are about to get their first look at a new strategic game. These are games that require teams to work together in stressful environments in order to achieve certain tasks. It is not a show like BattleBots, but more of a sport that engineers can play. The first Saturday in January, the Kickoff Event, marks the beginning of a new sport in FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics. |
