CELEBRATION AND SHOUT OUTS
 
Shoutout 9.20.19
Teams Robo-Rattlers #2451 and Robo-Rhinos #37564 from Rutland, VT, USA kicked off their CITY SHAPERSM season by "programming" people robots to perform tasks on a room-sized game field.  The people robots were mentors from their FIRST® Robotics Competition Team, the IBOTS #2370. The teams used commands like forward and back (units in steps) and turn left and right (units in degrees).
