North Dakota Teams to Compete in Regional FIRST Robotics Competition March 27–29, 2008
FIRST – For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology
The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of young people and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week timeframe using a standard “kit of parts” and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in a series of competitions designed by a committee of engineers and other professionals.
In 1992, the first robotics competition was held in a New Hampshire high school gym, with 28 teams participating in the game, “Maize Craze.” Now, the competition involves more than 1,300 teams competing in more than 40 Regional Events, and The Championship held at the Georgia Dome and World Congress Center in Atlanta where more than 8,500 high-school-aged young people participate.
