FRC competition

First Robotics Challenge is basically FLL for teenagers and/or high schoolers. Same basic idea anyway. Like us, the teams get a challenge every season, This year it was launching frisbees into different goals to score points. Their robots are very expensive, they can cost up to $20,000 because they use real metal and wires planned and perfected. While we were there we got to meet the FTC state champions, who also were in FLL before they joined the FTC league.

The FRC teams get really into the competition. It seems they enjoy it very much. While I was there I saw many people dressed up like figures from video games, movies, TV shows, etc. It is very obvious they get very into the whole competition and enjoy that too.

FTC is the league somewhat between the FLL and FRC. FTC are smaller and less expensive robots that can be controlled with console gaming controllers. during the competition there are around four robots on the “field” at once. This year, their challenge was to get rings stationed around the field to a center rack. The higher they got the rings on the rack, the more points they would get.
