Would you like to build a robot that can open a door, pick things up or even score a goal?
Students on the robotics team at Discovery School in Oklahoma, the US, have already done
these things. They won the first place at the State Robotics Championship.
In the competition, there were 66 teams from different middle schools around the state. They
got a box of Lego pieces, wheels and motors. Besides building, the team also needed to program their
robots.
Each team had the same tasks to perform. So what made the Discovery team so special? And
how did they score 564 out of 590, the best score?
"We use Bluetooth (蓝牙), so we can download information from computer to robot," said
Hugo Reyna, an eighth-grader from the Discovery robotics team. For most teams, wires (电线) were
the common tool they used to transfer (传输) information between computer and robot. But the
Discovery team started researching Bluetooth transfer, a faster and more convenient way, about one
year ago. Then they applied the new technology in the competition. And it performed as well as the
students hoped.
In one of the tasks, robots had to toss a ball into the goal. As the robots moved, lots of them fell
over the wires. But the Discovery team's robot was as flexible as a good basketball player. It won the
highest mark in the competition.
In the end, the team from Discovery received an award from a tech giant, showing their
achievements in robot technology.
