The LA FIRST Robotics Competition is a robot-elimination tournament which encourages students to pursue careers in science, technology and engineering: we headed over to the LA Sports Memorial to check out the final day of the competition, and to talk to several students involved in building their own robots. Not many people can say they’ve built a robot, but the 130,000 high school students involved in US FIRST certainly can!
