The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of young people and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week timeframe using a standard “kit of parts” and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in competitions designed by Dean Kamen, Dr. Woodi… Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:43:53 -0400 http://www.warlocks1507.com/wiki/doku.php?id=about_the_warlocks&rev=1321154751&do=diff Lockport Robotics is a not-for-profit, educational organization to promote interest and growth in young people interested in technology through the use of a competitive robotics program called FIRST.
