BEST Robotics
BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology) Robotics is a Robotics program that offers a secondary level of robot building and programming. Unlike FLL, the BEST team is given a problem to solve, and they are asked to build a robot to solve the problem. Their robot will then compete in a robot game, and the team will work to create a presentation and collateral to sell their robot to peers and judges.
The time frame for BEST robotics is MUCH shorter than that of FLL, so it is imperative that time not be wasted during the BEST season. The BEST robotics team will allow students a chance to build a robot from parts provided by the BEST organization, and learn more about coding as well as engineering and using tools to accomplish a task. Additionally, team members will work together to keep track of their progress to building their robot and flex their entrepreneurial skills in building their presentations to sell their robot solution.
Because of the increased complexity of the BEST competition and the condensed timeline of the BEST season, all team members are required to abide by all team expectations at all times.
