FIRST 2003 Kick-Off

Posted by timothy on from the robot-juice dept.

Odaeus writes "Happening now (1630 GMT) is the US FIRST Robotics Competition kick-off programme. Every year teams across the US, Canada, and other countries such as the UK (where my team started last year) composed of high school/college students and adult mentors have six weeks to design and build a robot that will compete in a friendly competition. One of the founders is everyone's favourite inventer of a over-hyped toy, Dean Kamen [Dekaresearch.com]. This is not Robot Wars."

    I did it for two years while I was in high school. I've met Dean Kamen twice now at our regional competition and met some of the people who helped design last year's game when I helped set up the field at our regional.
