Boston FIRST Competition

The 2010 Boston FIRST Regional Robotics competition happens this weekend at the Agganis Arena at Boston University. This year's challenge: to score the most points "by shooting soccer balls into a goal, climbing on the Alliance Tower or Platform, or by lifting and suspending an alliance robot off the playing surface."

This is a free and public event! This Friday (26th) and Saturday (27th) you can go see the robots, meet their student developers, and cheer on the participants. The atmosphere is often described as "a rock concert that meets the Super Bowl mixed with science and technology. Can't make it? Don't worry- you can still watch the live webcast on the Boston FIRST website.
