Logo Motion Game
Inventor Dean Kamen and will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas launched the FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®) 20th anniversary season today with the Kickoff of a new robotics game called “LOGO MOTION™”before a crowd of 600 people at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, hometown and headquarters of FIRST. An estimated 50,000 around the world joined the Kickoff via live NASA-TV broadcast and webcast.
In the FRC “LOGO MOTION” robotics game, two alliances of three teams will compete on a 27-by-54-foot field with poles, attempting to earn points by hanging as many triangle, circle and square logo pieces as possible. Bonus points will be earned for each robot that can hang and assemble logo pieces to form the FIRST logo. Robots can also deploy Mini-Bots to climb vertical poles for a chance to earn additional points.
