The Bennington Area Makers (BAM) will host First Robotics teams again this year. We will have an info session at BAM on Thursday 7/22 6:00 – 7:30 PM where team members from last year’s team will dust off the cob webs and get last year’s competition bot back online.  We will discuss the First Tech Challenge which is a chance for “coopertition” (cooperation and competition) in which youth ages 12-18 build and operate a robot to perform a specific set of tasks.  We also plan to have a First Lego Robotics League team this year for younger children. We will have more information on that opportunity shortly.  BAM is located at 239 Main St, Bennington, VT.
