San Diego, March 10 (CNA) A team of high school students from Taiwan has advanced to the national championships of a robotics competition in the United States after winning at the regional level in San Diego, California, on Saturday.
The 30 students from Taoyuan Municipal Nei Li Senior High School (NLHS), will now compete in the “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology” (FIRST) Championship in Detroit from April 24-27.
Speaking about the robot, Tsai Ting-ke (蔡廷科), an NLHS teacher told CNA that the terms of the competition required that the robot be built entirely of metal with computer numerical programing, pneumatic hydraulic clamps and power panelboards.
Such applications are not easy for high school students, but the NHLS group “was willing to try and this made me feel very proud,” Tsai said. [FULL STORY]
