BEST Robotics is a fantastic opportunity for your child! We participated in the robotics competition this past fall and we had a blast. It's a lot of hard work, but oh, so worth it. And it only lasts for 6 weeks unless you happen to make it on to the next round of competition.
To get a sense of what BEST is all about, try their web pages:
BEST Robotics (national page) and Auburn's hub page:
War Eagle BEST
On the national page you will find a "teaser trailer" video for this fall's competition. All we know at this point is that it has to do with "Bugs", but that could mean many things.
However, in addition to the robotics portion of the competition, they also have a separate competion, usually referred to as the "marketing" or "business" competition. This year, the A2Z team is going to participate in this part of the competition as well! So, we need YOUR help. I'll post a series of skills and materials that we will be needing this fall. Much of it will be people-intense, but we will also need some material goods (and therefore, sponsorship money!) to help pull off this whole thing. It will be a great way for your kids to make friends, learn valuable skills, work hard and have lots of FUN!
Thanks,
