Event Details
Friends of Hawai'i Robotics to host 2015 FIRST® Robotics Regional Competition. Presented by Oceanic Time Warner Cable, this year's game, RECYCLE RUSH, brings attention to the global concern of exhausting natural resources and recycling, as 36 teams from local, national, and international high schools compete for a chance to participate in the World Championships in St. Louis, Missouri on April 22-25. Student teams will use their robots, which were created during the six-week build season, to complete a variety of tasks within the high-energy recycling game.
The FIRST® Hawaii Robotics Competition (FRC) is an annual competition, held since 2008, that challenges high school students, working alongside their professional mentors, to design and build robots of their own and compete in a contest that measures the effectiveness of each robot and the power of teamwork, collaboration and professionalism. The idea is to get students thinking about technology as a career, and using robots to solve or mitigate real world problems.
