BEST Robotics is a free engineering competition with the goal of furthering education in engineering for students. The competition last for six weeks and students must work together to build a robot, complete a notebook explaining how they designed and built the robot, write a research paper relating the game to current technology, and build a booth to display their work. The teams should also work hard to recruit new teams and help existing teams. BEST is much more than just building a robot for one competition. It is about furthering engineering and technology.
