Robotics Competition

On Saturday February 12 the University of Texas at Tyler's College of Engineering and Computer Science will host the 2011 East Texas VEX Patriot Challenge robotics competition. There will be many students there, aged from middle school to high school mixed together in different teams, working together to try to make the most innovative robot as possible.

Here is a tentative schedule of the days events:
