Come cheer on the local Placer County 4-H FRC 3257 Robotics Team at their upcoming event. The team will be participating in the FIRST STRONGHOLD competition being held at UC Davis March 24th-26th . Approximately 55 teams will be participating and admission is free. Worldwide, more than 3,000 teams will compete at over 120 events, all leading up to the 2016 FIRST Championship event being held in St. Louis, April 27-30. FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. It's the only school sport where all members may turn pro if they choose. Teams of 10 or more high school students (ages 14-18/grades 9-12) are challenged to build and program a robot in six weeks to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors, raise funds, design a team “brand,” and hone teamwork skills. It's as close to real world business and engineering as a student can get.
