What is it?
"Inspiring students to pursue careers in engineering, science,
technology, and mathematics through robotics design..."
- Best Robotics (www.bestrobotics.org)
The Viborg-Hurley Robotics students participate in the JacksBEST Robotics in Brookings, SD.
BEST (boosting engineering, science, and technology) is a FREE competition aimed to
help students learn to analyze and problem-solve. Students participating in robotics
become competent and confident in: abstract thinking, self-directed learning, teamwork,
project management, decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership.

Other Information
Students who register as part of the Viborg-Hurley Robotics Team are expected to attend
all three competition days listed above. In addition, students will need to commit time to
building the team robot. Times to work on the robot will be discussed once the kit is
received on kick-off day but likely will include time after school and during Cougar Fridays.
Students may also set-up times outside of these times to work together on portions of the
robot. As the competition is fairly short in length at only 8 weeks, students who join the team
need to commit to scheduling time to work on the robot. I am looking forward to working
with students to make the 2023 BEST competition successful.
