BotBall @ Santa Teresa HS

The 2009 season is beginning! This page will be the coordination point, but right now it is mostly empty.

What is it?

The BotBall Educational Robotics Program integrates science, technology, engineering, and math with robotics to keep your students on the cutting edge of technology! Students form a team, construct a robot, and program it to perform tasks. That last part is the amazing part; there are no remote controls, the robots must perform the task autonomously. The robots are constructed from legos. That is the challenge: the teams then get together to display the results of their project along side other teams, and compete on a point based system that evaluates how well the robot succeeded in the time allotted.
