Follow on Google News | SBPLI and Half Hollow Hills Schools Present Second Annual Half Hollow Hills Invitational RoboBy: School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. The Half Hollow Hills Invitational is designed to showcase the benefits of robotics programs on students, schools and their communities. Students not only immerse themselves in the fields of physics and engineering, but also learn about problem solving, cooperation and teamwork. Participating teams will be using the robots they built for the 2013 Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition, which was held at Hofstra University in April. Students will program their robots, some weighing as much as 120 pounds, to compete on a 27-by-54-foot playing field with pyramids, attempting to earn points by shooting as many flying discs into their goals as possible during the two-minute, 15-second match. Matches will end with robots attempting to climb up pyramids located near the middle of the field. Pre-rookie teams will borrow robots from other teams.
