The Robots are coming (First Robotics Competition)

The First Robotics Competition is an international robotics event organized by FIRST for High School students with their mentors. Students come from all corners of the globe, mainly from Brazil, Canada, the Netherlands, Israel, the United States, United Kingdom, and Mexico. The goal is to build autonomous mobile robots within 6 weeks to compete in pre-defined tasks; the robots change every year. These robots can weigh up to 120 pounds (55 kg). Each team consists of 4 to 100 people. The 2010 First Robotics Competition is called the Breakaway, and takes place in Atlanta, USA. This year is a Soccer tournament with different levels of difficulty. See the "The Robots are coming" video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh_v9CU7pCE
