FIRST Robotics competitions

Anyone know about these? I was on a robotics team this year and we had a regional at VCU in Richmond, VA last weekend. It was a lot of fun with 62 robots competing against each other. This is not Battle Bots. A game is made up where you have to score more points than the opposing team to win. If you want the rules for this years robotics goto www.usfirst.org/robotics Here is a link or two to our quarter final 4 robot hanging match that was the highlight of the event.

That's cool. About how many minutes in the video on the 3rd link is your team?

Sounds cool, but is there an age limit.

go 1 hour i think into the quarter finals match to see our sweet match. Our first one is about 15 min into the video too. I dont remember where the 2nd match is in it.

As long as you are in highschool you can be on the team.

Cool, are you one of the team members in the video? I heard the "I like to move it move it" song before your team's match, a quite poplular song in DDRMAX 1
