Define "real robot"... Actually, our definition of "robot" is anything attached to the onboard computer. Even that is a little confusing, so here is a (hopefully) clearer explanation: We build a device to play a game. This device (robot) has motors, servos, wires, metal, PVC, you get the picture. The only limits are size, weight, availability, imagination, and whatever the rules tell us. The teams have six weeks to design, build, and program the robot to do what they want it to do. After six weeks, we ship it to a competition and actually play the game. The robots are controlled for a few seconds by their onboard computer and after that by human drivers.

For more information, hang around here for a few months, and read most of the threads (except for the Chit-Chat forum, which has close to nothing to do with the actual game.) The FRC Game Design forum may help you understand what we design and build robots to do.

Noticing your location, maybe someone in Albania wants to know about FIRST and maybe start a team. FIRST is international, and there are teams in Europe and Israel. For information on FIRST in general and the competition, the FIRST website is www.usfirst.org and it can tell you all you need to know.
