Lansing Robotics Team Competes at FIRST Robotics Greater Kansas City Regional Event
Our Lansing Robotics Team has been busy the past two months designing, building, programming, and fixing a 100-pound robot to compete at the FIRST Robotics Greater Kansas City Regional event in Lee's Summit, MO. The competition took place on March 25th and 26th, and our team competed with two other robots in an alliance against another three robots in "Rapid React."
According to the FIRST Robotics website, "RAPID REACTSM (presented by The Boeing Company) involves teams using innovative engineering, creative thinking, and teamwork to re-imagine the future of safe, high-speed travel, and lightning-fast deliveries to propel the next evolution of transportation forward – in this world and beyond."
Our Lansing team's best match was Match 39. To watch our team compete, click here. Watch for blue "7064" bumpers.
