Task 2. Read the description of three robotics competitions. Tick the correct competition. B.E.S.T Robot Contest
What can high school students do with a box of materials and six weeks? The B.E.S.T Robot Contest is a great way to find out. Teams must design a robot that can successfully complete a set of tasks within a time limit, and they’ll compete against each other.
F.I.R.S.T: Tech Challenge
Teams for the F.I.R.S.T: Tech Challenge can have up to 15 high schoolers. There’s a reusable robot kit. They must use this kit to create a robot that will be able to compete in an alliance format challenge. Teams work with adult coaches and mentors to help them.
National Robotics Challenge
The National Robotics Challenge doesn’t require specific materials or a kit. Stu- dents get to build a robot that can compete in challenges like a maze and rescue. Plus, the contest isn’t just for school students; college and graduate students can participate, too.
