The Wayne Trace Robotics Engineering and Marketing Team placed third overall in the Falcon BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science & Technology) competition this past weekend at Bowling Green State University.
This placement has qualified the team for the national competition which will be held December 11 and 12, 2021 in Denver, Colorado. This year’s theme, Demo Daze, challenges students to “demolish” a model of a two-story building while also moving and recycling construction materials located throughout the “work site.”
Competing in the BEST program requires teams not only to build and program a robot to complete specific tasks according to the given theme, but it also challenges teams to research the problems and possible solutions to address the task while developing a comprehensive marketing plan to support their mock robot business.
