WHERE: Matches are held in the CHS Main Gym. Please enter from Valley Street. Teams are headquartered in the CHS Cafeterias and spectators are free to walk through the cafeterias and visit with teams. Kids are especially welcomed by teams and all teams are more than happy to discuss their robots, how they built them and why.
WHO: 36 Robotics Clubs from all over New Jersey and some from Pennsylvania and New York. The teams represent high schools and private clubs. These are veteran teams and rookie teams. Columbia itself will have three teams in the tournament. All of these teams are part of the FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) division of US FIRST, the worldwide organization sponsoring robotics.
WHY: Come see the cutting edge in technology as high school kids challenge each other in matches pitting 4 robots at a time. The robots operate autonomously and then under control of teen operators. See kids who can write software, build complex robots that carry out difficult tasks, and do so under stress conditions.
