Let the Games - golf travel accessories

You know the kids in your high school that always had their hands up first for a science question—and the answer left you feeling like they lived in an alternate universe?

Beginning Friday, dozens of high school teams with kids like this from all over the state will convene at Trenton’s Sovereign Bank Arena, to compete in the FIRST RoboticsCompetition (www.usfirst.org).

Each squad of teens is paired with professional engineers from sponsor companies, and they’ve spent weeks constructing a robot that will compete against the others. The winners from regional competitions across the country will strive for a national title, and ultimately, compete against kids from several different countries. The grand champs of these prestigious contents will be awarded scholarships and international recognition.

The FIRST program (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was created by multimillionaire inventor Dean Kamen (www.dekaresearch.com) best known for his Segway electric scooter.  He’s recruited a plethora of directors and advisors from corporate America; companies like J&J,  Motorola, Bristol Myers Squibb provide engineers and financial support. Additional help comes from schools like NJIT and MIT.

The Mighty Monkey Wrenches of Ewing, Team Chaos of Gladstone,  Blue Steel from Newark’s Central High,  The Thunderbirds of Mahwah, are among the many battling in this first round. In just six weeks they’ve assembled their team android, using computer assisted design, motors, electrical circuits, remote controls—the tools of any professional engineer.

These are the inventors of the future. Friday and Saturday, in Trenton, energy and imagination and brainpower are on display—the kids that always knew the right answer in class get a chance to take the supreme test.
