The Tahoma High School Robotics FRC Team 2046, aka Bear Metal, will be hosting their third annual Girls’ Generation Robotics Competition on Oct. 18 at Tahoma Junior High School. This one-day, 24-team event, is an opportunity for girls to take a front and center role as drivers, strategists and pit crew members.

They will be competing in the 2014 FIRST Robotics game, “Aerial Assist” on an official FIRST field. From the video description, “Robots assist each other to move 24-inch game balls down the field and into low or high goals to score. The more the robots assist each other, the higher their bonus points will be.”

The only difference is that the drive team and pit crew members are all girls. The boys on the team are encouraged to attend and cheer on the girls of their team as they compete. The 2013 highlight video is available on YouTube, courtesy of FRC Team 1983.

Admission is free and the community is invited to come and watch.
