The championship match of the2010 FIRST Robot Competitionis starting soon . Many teams have fall and many robots have fallen apart . But now it ’s just the practiced student - made bots of the lot , battle for all the nimbus . check inside !

you could watch the flow of the case , leave by NASA , here .
Learn about the competitionhere .
I ’m ascertain too , so observe that in one tab and freshen this post in the other !
We ’ll be back on Monday with a fold - up smell at the gain robot . I had a blast watch the competition today , and , if you tune up in , you saw just how lustrous our engine room time to come looks . These kids but beam excitation at the FRC backup today . Dean Kamen pledged to push the FIRST program harder than ever this make out yr , with the hope of pose young multitude across the nation accost on scientific discipline and engineering .
6:44 : And that ’s all she wrote ! Congrats to all the team who participated , and particularly Team 67 , Team 177 , and Team 294 , the big winner .
6:42 : RED ALLIANCE WINS ! 16 - 13 ! New World Champions !

6:34 : Black Eyed Peas bumping on the speakers . It would n’t be a 2010 robotics rival without them , after all .
6:31:”Being the new tike on the block is n’t easy”—congrats to team up Innovators Robotics , winners of the Rookie of the Year honour .
6:30 : Creed ’s acting ! ( over the PA , not live . )
6:27 : The creativity awarding , by Xerox , is next . NOT the ape award , heed you . It goes to team Las Guerillas , from Bloomfield Hills , MI , for their 10 pound aluminum bot .

6:17 : The announcer is doing a handstand . Things are getting nuts . atmospheric state at the Georgia Dome seems electric .
6:15 : meter FOR THE final . I ’ve been waiting all solar day for this !
6:14 : Engineering Excellence awarding goes to team Patriotics , from Ontario . Theirs is decidedly one of the sleeker looking bots of the bunch .
6:07 : Time for the special judges accolade . They ’re giving it to the Ridgeview Academy Rambotics , the “ estimable prune team in Atlanta . ” The squad is , in fact , very well spruced up , operating their bot in full bow - affiliation get - up .

5:54 : These bots are not so polite . slews of smashing into each other .
5:53 : So this is moderately feverish , but I think this is how these games work : The first 20 second or so are left for self-governing robot soccer , where the bots just look for out the balls on their own and attempt to mark . Then the scholar are permit to control their bots with joysticks .
5:52 : This announcer has an fantabulous hold on the recent history of FIRST robotics championships . He recognize the history of every single squad that ’s still pull up stakes , and there ’s not a single teleprompter in deal .

5:26 : Here ’s arap songabout FIRST and the joyfulness of robotics , called “ Dream It , Design It , Build It , ” that you’re able to heed to to pump yourself up for the last peer . Nice yield values !
