This is the first year that St. Ignatius will be participated in the
BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology) Robotics
competition. We are constantly seeking eager students, parents, and mentors
to help us through this competition while learning, developing
sportsmanship, and having a great time.
The following exert is taken from the BEST website
(Click Here)
to explain the purpose of the competition:
"BEST is a non-profit, volunteer organization whose mission is
to inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science, and
technology through participation in a sports-like, science- and
engineering-based robotics competition."
 | BEST features two parallel competitions:
 | A robotics game, which is based upon an annual theme with four
teams competing at once in a series of three-minute, round-robin
matches.
 | The BEST Award, which is presented to the team that best
embodies the concept of Boosting Engineering, Science, and
Technology. Elements include a project summary notebook, oral
presentation, table display, and spirit and sportsmanship. |
|
 | Each school is provided kits of equipment and parts, a set of game
rules, and given six weeks to design, build, and test a small
Radio/Controlled (R/C) robot that outperforms other robots. |
