FIRST Robotics Competition Kickoff 2016!

1/6/2016

0 Comments

 
On Saturday, January 9th FIRST Robotics teams from all across the country will travel to their local kickoff event and simultaneously tune in to watch the launch of the 2016 season. Unlike other sports, teams come to this event every year having absolutely no idea what the game will be, what the rules are or what the field will look like. They only know one thing: They will have to build a robot. During this nationwide broadcast, the new game and playing field will be unveiled and teams will receive a Kit of Parts made up of donated materials worth tens of thousands of dollars. Teams are given the rules but no instruction on how to build their robot. Other than some basic guidelines and a couple lists of legal parts, teams have to design, build and program their way to victory and they only get 42 days to do it!


Our Season Timeline:
January 9 @ 10:00 AM to February 23 @ 11:59 PM – Build Season. The team meets almost every day for two to four hours. All robot construction must stop by 2/23/2016 @ 11:59 PM.

March 3 through 5 – Kettering University District Event
Free and Open to the public

March 10 through 12 – St. Joseph High School District Event
Free and Open to the public

The FIRST Robotics Competition is said to be the ultimate Sport for the Mind. The 2016 season will be the third for MegaHurtz Robotics (Buchanan High School’s robotics team). Last season we finished fourth in our District Competition. We are very excited to see what this year’s challenges will be and look forward to how we will meet them. Ask anyone involved and they will agree this is “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”
