King High school’s robotics team, the Crushing Crusaders, recently competed in the First Robotics Competition at Troy High School.
In the last three weeks they had to run tests to make sure their theory was accurate. The team didn’t do it alone; they had great help from the University of Michigan. The students were giving help from a U-M workshop. In the workshop they were able to use updated tools and computers for researching their ideas. Also, engineers volunteered their service by helping the participating schools out. Overall the schools that participated in the competitions enjoyed themselves.
The benefits from the learning experience of robotics is that you learn engineering, you get to work in a collaborative environment, networking and the students are given scholarship opportunities. Learn more about the robotics competitions on www.USFirst.org
