Raro robo-kids foot it with the best

Five students will design and build robots to compete in the FIRST Global Challenge robotics competition with a cause in Dubai.

FIRST Global is a non-profit organisation that promotes science and technology education and careers, through Olympics-style robotics competitions.

The students will have to design three robots that will have the capacity to move objects and operate them in a game to clear pollutants out of a game arena symbolising rubbish in the ocean, a global concern that has added meaning for the Cooks kids.

Tereora College’s digital technology teacher, Jana Robertson said the improvement of technology would benefit the whole Cook Islands – though she doesn’t think we need robots.
