"Year of the Robot" Article

[Hallry]

I was looking through Google News and stumbled upon an article titled "Year of the Robot," published in the Woodbury Bulletin in Minnesota.

Quick summary:

This could be the year of the robot.

This past summer robotics became a Minnesota State High School League sponsored activity – like football, basketball, hockey and track and field. Recognizing the importance of science and math extracurricular activities, the league voted to partner with FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in supporting robotics competitions.

The major difference this year, because of the high school league’s involvement, will be the implementation of a robotics state tournament – the first of which will take place on May 19 at Williams Arena on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis.

You can read it for yourself here. Congrats to the teams mentioned in the article, the Woodbury Robo-sapians, the East Ridge Robotic Ominous Raptors (ERRORs), and the Math and Science Academy Fighting Calculators.
