Cool Robotics at the VCU/NASA Langley FIRST Robotics Competition
Some comments and links for the VCU/NASA FIRST Robotics Competition
Wow! Amazing stuff that the high school kids are doing today. I had a chance to see some wonderful robots, and talk to some great kids about what they had been doing over the last few months (and for some of them, the last few _years_). Here is a video of one of the contest rounds to get an idea of how complex and difficult this stuff is:
I also took a bunch of pictures, just to capture an overall feel for the event (many are blurry and/or out of focus, but they coveyt he sense of frenetic activity!) I wish all the kids well- they seem to have really enjoyed what they were doing.
