By: TR Cutler FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a non-profit organization that designs accessible, innovative programs which inspire young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, engineering, technology, and math while building self-confidence, knowledge and life skills. Seegrid Principal Engineer, Ray Delissio, mentored and coached the Frobotics team from Franklin Regional High School. He spent hours working with the students guiding them through the build process. “It was great to see the students so excited and eager to learn something new. Their enthusiasm was contagious. Each time the group got together they learned something new, worked together as a team, and experienced something they will never forget,” enthused Delissio. The teams were given parts kits at the beginning of January and had to build robots from those parts. Teams had mentors and coaches from their communities who guided the students through the building process; students built the robots completely on their own. Robots needed to be built to move around an enclosed playing filed and throw frisbees into the goal area. There were four different slots that the frisbee could be thrown into and each slot represented a different number of points. The team with the highest number of points at the end of each round would move onto the next. Seegrid is proud to support the next generation of robotics engineers and scientists.
