NASA Langley Teams With Local Students in Robot Competition

摘要

Hampton Roads, Va., teenagers from Norfolk to the Eastern Shore have only a few weeks left to perfect their entry for a regional robot competition in March in Richmond. Students are designing and building machines that will compete in one of the world's biggest engineering challenges-the FIRST Robotics competition, which has been supported for several years by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Robot Alliance Project. More than 1,800 teams across the world are working to reach the annual championship event held each April at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga.
