Sky Climber has joined the likes of NASA and The Ohio State University in supporting FIRST Robotics teams.  

The FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition is a unique sporting competition designed to help high school students discover the rewards of engineering and science. 

Each year a challenge is issued to teams:  build a robot in 6 weeks, within budget and specifications, to play the game.  This is real world engineering, and much more.  Students learn about business principles including marketing, fundraising, finance, business plans, presentation skills, and time management.  

This year, we helped a local team O3-Zone (Olentangy #4611) by laser-cutting a series of aluminum parts for their latest competition robots.   The team developed a prototype of the design concept and then a competition chassis.  Check out this video to see them in action, and stay tuned to our social media pages for competition updates.
