 |
At FIRST Robotics Competitions last year, robots kicked soccer balls around a field obstacles and goals. Would you like a turn at our modified RoboFest game? Think you’re pretty good? We’ll see! | |
Maker Bot Demonstration |
||
 |
Imagine an extremely accurate, programmable glue gun which starts by drawing a picture of the first layer of your object in plastic. It then raises up and draws the next layer. When all the layers are complete, you've manufactured a 3D object. Pretty cool! Check it out! | |
BAE Systems - Robotics Application |
||
 |
This Defense Contractor will exhibit and explain the use of ground and airborne robotics in the development of its communications equipment for the military. | |
Bomb Squad Robot |
