The championship match of the 2010 FIRST Robot Competition is starting soon. Many teams have fallen and many robots have fallen apart. But now it’s just the best student-made bots of the lot, battling for all the glory. Watch inside!
Tomorrow, squads of rough and tumble robots will face off in an elaborate competition involving a hard-hitting soccer in a robo-ready jungle gym arena. The craziest part: all the bots are built by high school students.
