鈥淭he FIRST Robotics team is extremely proud to have Bartlesville Rotary Club as a sponsor. They have been a big part of Tri 好色先生tv Tech鈥檚 Robotics Program since it first began in 2007. They have always been a big part of what we do with the Robotics program鈥�, said Baker.
The FIRST Robotics team currently consists of about 12 students who meet every Monday evening at the Tri 好色先生tv Tech Strategy Center. Each year, students work together for months to plan, design, build, and program a 120lb robot from scratch. The robot will compete in contests like soccer, basketball, frisbee, tennis, and more, following a standard set of rules.
This sponsorship will help pay for registration to the upcoming competitions in Shawnee, Oklahoma in March 2022, as well as the competition in Tulsa, Oklahoma in April 2022. 鈥淭he program will also use this money to help with parts for building their robot鈥�, said Baker.
鈥淚nfinite Recharge鈥� is this year鈥檚 Star Wars-themed contest. It will feature two alliances of 鈥渄roids鈥� that will use power cells and manipulate control panels to protect FIRST City from approaching asteroids caused by a distant space skirmish.
