1. Xtreme BOTS Fall Competition
Metal grinding, spark flying, robot smashing fun for the whole family!
Over 40 Ohio area STEM school teams compete to find out who builds the best BOT. The Xtreme BOTS Competition pairs student teams with local manufacturing companies and mentors who provide necessary materials and technical assistance to build a competitive, remote-control 15 lb. robot. Teams face off in one-on-one competition with the goal of disabling their bot opponent.
Spectators will enjoy the BOT battles and hands-on activities such as flight simulators, maze makers, coding challenges, and much more!
