I'm a mentor for a FIRST robotics high school team. Our robot made it all the way to the final round, but we lost 3-2.

This year's challenge is that the robots play soccer.


A huge effort - we're going to another competition this weekend in Ann Arbor, MI. Here is one of our matches, on youtube (team 2619):

BTW - skip to 2:00 for a neat surprise that only a few robots could do.

whoa, that's pretty cool. Your robot took those barriers like they were hedgerows in Normandy!

As a representative of team 1625, I and I'm sure the rest of my team wish you the best of luck at Ann Arbor. Week 1 we also narrowly missed taking home the gold (lost by 2 pts at the Greater Kansas City Regional) and we've been quite busy preparing for Midwest. Hope you guys make it to Atlanta.

Thank you. For the rest of the Anandtech, Atlanta is "Worlds Competition", the pinnacle of FIRST Robotics. We hope to be there. :thumbsup:
