Delaware FTC announces 2014 schedule of events

Posted on by

Scrimmage

January 18, from 10-3, MOE 365 FTC and Delaware State University will host an informal scrimmage to help Delaware teams prepare for the Delaware FTC Tournament. The event will also be on display to younger First Lego League students to learn about their options in high school robotics.

The scrimmage will offer informal hardware, software and field inspections, as well as judging advice sessions for each team, and a set of individually scored matches. It will not be run like a full tournament. This is an opportunity to get practice, advice, and to learn from other teams and mentors.

Interested FTC teams should reply by January 10, 2014 to prettyre@yahoo.com or Andrew.N.Szeto@boeing.com.

Smithsonian reporters: From Denmark to Delaware

Posted on by

When the Smithsonian magazine assigned a reporter and photographer to cover the story of LEGO and FIRST for an article on ideas and innovation, we were happy to have them to see the multi-age multi-level FSR Championship event at the Bob Carpenter Center last January.

Every year, the event is one of the largest single-day robotics competitions of its kind in the world and three program events take place in the same venue. This was the tenth anniversary year and over 100 student teams from six states participated, with students ranging in age from six to eighteen.

The article is available online, “How Lego Is Constructing the Next Generation of Engineers”
