Nearly 400 San Diego high school students on FRC teams convened at the San Diego Kickoff Event at Kearny High School were they shown the AERIAL ASSIST playing field and received a Kit of Parts made up of motors, batteries, a control system, a PC, and a mix of automation components – and only limited instructions. Working with adult Mentors, students will have only six weeks to design, build, program, and test their robots to meet the season’s engineering challenge. The Stop Build deadline is on February 18th at midnight. Once these young inventors build a robot, their teams will participate in one or more of the 98 Regional and District competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students. San Diego teams will compete in the 2014 game, AERIAL ASSIST, at the 8th Annual San Diego FIRST Robotics Competition held at the Valley View Casino Center (formerly Sports Arena) on March 6­8, 2014.

  • At World Robotics Competition
    By Stephanie Slezycki • Senior Program Representative, Dept. 686 EB EMPLOYEES ach year, teams participating in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recogni- tion of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition are given six weeks HELP STUDENTS to design, build, and test 120-lb robots for competition. The 2017 challenge, E FIRST STEAMWORKS, saw these teams competing on a steampunk- themed playing field. Each three-team alliance scored points by shooting balls to “KICK BOT” build pressure, manipulating gears to start rotors spinning, and boarding their airship. The alliance with the highest score at the end of the match was declared the winner. AT WORLD The 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) featured more than 83,000 stu- dents competing on 3,336 teams from 25 countries. Over 400 of these teams from ROBOTICS around the world qualified to attend the FRC Championship held last spring in St. Louis, Mo. For the first time ever, three of the teams representing Connecti- cut were supported by Electric Boat employee mentors, who volunteer countless COMPETITION hours each year to educate and guide the students to success. 12 | ELECTRIC BOAT NEWS | FALL/WINTER 2017 The Techno Ticks (Team 236) from Lyme-Old Lyme High School attend the FIRST Championship annually as a member of the Hall of Fame, having in the past won the Chairman’s Award, the most pres- tigious award in FIRST. This distinction honors the team that best embodies the purpose and goals of FIRST; the Techno Ticks serve as a role model for others to emulate. At the FRC Championship, teams were divided into six subdivisions, each named after a famous scien- tist, engineer, or inventor.

  • First Robotics Infinite Recharge
    TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES HUDSON VALLEY PATHWAYS ACADEMY | BY HVPA STUDENTS AND LINDA ENGLER FIRST ROBOTICS INFINITE RECHARGE magine a competition where excited, technology-driven high school students competeI as teams, head to head with robots they have designed, built and programmed themselves. This happens annually and hundreds of teams were preparing to compete at Rockland Community College and RPI in March, Houston in April and Detroit in May when development came to a sudden halt. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by inventor Dean Kamen in 1989 and is the world’s leading youth serving nonprofit advancing science, technology, engineering, and math. This program inspires students in grades K-12 worldwide while teaching leadership by engaging them in hands-on robotics challenges. Teachers Bill Lopez and Matt Leifeld work with young scholars Regan Miller and Dartanian Barringer to strategize on ball intake. The Council of Industry Magazine and Membership Directory 25 FIRST LEGO League Jr. is for grade K-4, FIRST LEGO FIRST Robotics is a program that builds student creativity, League is Grades 4-8, and FIRST Tech Challenge covers grades innovation, and critical thinking. The goal of FIRST is to build 7-12, while the FIRST Robotics Competition is grade 9-12. and design a robot that’s able to perform multiple unique tasks and then put your teams’ skills to the test in competitions that take place around the country. This year the theme of First Robotics is Star Wars, Infinite Recharge. The main goal for the robot in this competition is to shoot and score “Power Cells” (foam balls) to energize a Shield Generator to protect the team.
