Robots and The FIRST Competition
The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real-world engineering” as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team.
The Rebound RumbleSM
robotics game is played between two Alliances of three teams each. Each
Alliance competes by trying to score as many of the basketballs in the
hoops as possible during the 2-minute and 15-second match. Balls scored
in higher hoops score Alliances more points. Alliances are awarded bonus
points if they are balanced on bridges at the end of the match. In
matches where opponent Alliances work together to balance on the white
bridge, all participating teams earn additional valuable seeding points.
