Robo Challenge Xtreme (RCX) is a challenging, yet fun way for students to expand students’ knowledge of math and science through a challenging robotics competition, according to a press release. The students also strengthen their teamwork, communication, computer programming, and problem-solving skills.
Teams compete with autonomous robots that they have designed, built and programmed to complete missions on the field. Points are scored by completing as many missions as possible in a three-minute time period. This year’s theme was a Retro throwback “Mission Horizons.”
