Montgomery County Community College’s Department of Engineering, in partnership with The Weatherly Institute for Robotics and Engineering, is proud to present a Regional Robotics Competition, featuring the game “Hot Shot” on November 21, 2009. The event begins at 8:00AM and runs until a winning Alliance of Robots is crowned. The event will take place on the College’s Central Campus in Blue Bell, PA, in the Physical Education building. This competition is designed for those who want to compete head to head in Engineering and Science, using a sports model. Teams of up to 10 students compete in an alliance format against other teams.
Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principals. Awards are given for the competition as well as for community outreach, design and other real world accomplishments. For more information on this year’s competition challenges, see the First Tech Challenge Website and check out Hotshot.
Please come out and join us to see high school students “show their stuff” in robotics-based Science and Engineering competition.
