First Robotics 2024 Competition Opens At Lawrence Tech

SOUTHFIELD – On Jan. 6, high school students participated in a complicated, musically themed contest in which robots must move plastic rings called “notes” around a basketball-court-sized game field, with bonus points for depositing them in receptacles called “amplifiers” and guiding their robots to star on a central “stage,” is the FIRST Robotics 2024 competition game.

Lorne Plant Executive Producer of State Champs RoboZone high school robotics joined MITech TV to update how the competition went and next steps in the national robotics tournament. He was interviewed by Matt Roush from Lawrence Technological University and MIke Brennan, editor of MITechNews.Com.
