Students from Plantation, Fla., and their mentors prepare their team robot to compete in the NASA_KSC FIRST Southeastern Regional event. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) events are held nationwide, pitting the student-built robots against each other and the clock on a playing field. Many teams are sponsored by corporations, such as Motorola seen on these students’ shirts, and academic institutions. There are 27 teams throughout the State of Florida who are competing. KSC, which sponsors nine teams, has held the regional event for two years.
