Robots Go Wild at the USFIRST.org Robotics Competition (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the greetings-to-our-new-robotic-basketball-overlords dept.

The Robots Rock. They Sock. They Rebound. And they *SCORE* at the USFIRST.org Robotics Competition, which is open to high school teams all over the U.S. -- including the Michigan competition where Robert 'samzenpus' Rozeboom shot this video. He says, "Pretty neat competition, made me wish we had a team when I was a kid."

  1. We need more sports like this by vawwyakr · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It would be great if more people would get into this sort of competition. It combines some skill with a lot of talent just like other sports just less physical. I see the need for physical sports too obviously but think of how far we could go if we devoted even 1% of the energy we spend on other sports onto something like this.
