For reference, this challenge is part of FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), in which they build robots the size of 18” cubes. FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), which builds much larger robots (120 lbs, often as tall as people) has its competition announced in two weeks. Many teams that are part of FRC use Raspberry Pis or other microcontrollers to do vision processing and it’s super cool to hear that FTC teams are doing it as well.
Both are very exciting and great opportunities for high schoolers to get involved in STEM (as well as being an amazing chance for adults to get involved in mentoring a team). I can’t recommend it enough.
