This is our eleventh year to compete in BEST Robotics. We are a highly trained company that has won the BEST award 8 times. We are comprised of junior and senior high school students, with 15 male engineers and 5 female. We're fortunate, because of our team size, to have the necessary time to devote to researching technologies and coming up with ground-breaking solutions to the world's problems. Our unique organizational structure and strong leadership team give us a distinct advantage in the insect retrival market.
Take plywood and a box filled with items such as PVC pipe, screws and other hardware, an irrigation valve cover, piano wire, aluminum paint grid, a bicycle inner tube, a VEX Cortex, and something called a micro-energy chain system and try, within six weeks, to design and build a functioning machine that can perform certain, specific tasks in three minutes. What do you get?
You get BEST, a middle and high school robotics competition whose mission is to engage and excite students about engineering, science, and technology as well as inspire them to pursue careers in these fields.
