Re: BEST Robotics
we compete on a BEST robotics team as well as in FIRST
In BEST you are given a kit of wood,pvc,and other random things and you must complete a challenge that relates to a problem that engineers are trying to solve in the real world. The challenges are usually intricate and involve a lot more strategy than just a good robot. Some years its better to not score some in order to get a higher overall score. the BEST season goes from mid september to late december depending on how far you get in the competition but most of the higher level competitions are in texas so its not very accessible to northern based teams. Our team has been doing very well stacking BEST and FIRST and we enjoy both competitions.
FIRST: Sport type challenge to interest everyone
BEST: Engineering type challenge to interest engineers
