Youth Gearing Up for Exciting Robotics Competitions at the University of Waterloo
If you like robots, you will want to watch teams compete at the University of Waterloo during the weekend of Saturday Nov 30-Sunday Dec 1. The fields are set for innovation, creativity, and teamwork as FIRST Lego League (FLL) and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) teams from across Waterloo-Wellington region, Hamilton region and the Greater Toronto Area prepare to display their skills at the two qualifier events organized by Waterloo-Wellington FIRST Robotics in partnership with Waterloo Engineering.
On Saturday, November 30, over a hundred of Grade 4 to 8 students will put their engineering skills and student-designed LEGO-based robots to the test on the SUBMERGED competition fields; these 19 teams will compete to win a spot at the Provincial Championship in January. The opening ceremony is at 8:30am followed by FIRST LEGO robot matches starting at 9am until 3pm, with the award ceremony at 3h45pm.
On Sunday, December 1, 23 teams of high school students will compete with their FIRST Tech Challenge robots and build their alliance to become the champion of the inaugural event at Waterloo. Following qualification games, teams will select their alliance partners and will aim to become the first champion of the WWFIRST FTC qualifier event. The opening ceremony is at 11am and robot games will take place from 11:30am until 5pm. Awards ceremony is at 5h30pm.
Both events take place in Engineering 7. Members of the public are welcome to attend the events. Pits, where teams work on their robots and display their projects and outreach activities, are also open to the public from 9am to 4pm.
