The Beattie Robotics, Oracle, Cisco, Commercial Art, Auto Body, and HVAC programs will be participating in a challenging competition sponsored by a group called FIRST- For Inspiration Recognition of Science and Technology. FIRST is a program with a goal- to involve students in science, technology and engineering. Beattie received an informational video which explains the contest. Their objective is to build a robot that can navigate a race track while attempting to toss a 40" diameter ball over a 6.5' bar. An Alliance of three teams will have two minutes to maximize the amount of points. Teams will receive points for crossing the finish line with the robot, the ball crossing the finish line, or throwing the ball over the bar. Teams will receive points for their robot crossing the finish line, the ball crossing the finish line, and throwing the ball over the bar
