Middle School Robotics Challenge

Robots built by the student teams complete a challenge course consisting of commuting-themed transportation missions, such as moving disabled vehicles to a garage, delivering food to an airplane, and picking up passengers at a bus stop. Students are required to belong to an after-school robotics club. They use robotic kits based on Lego building bricks.

The after-school program is a partnership between URI and several Rhode Island school districts, which aims to increase the number of disadvantaged students who attain higher education in the fields of math, science, and engineering.
