Student robot competition at the University of Utah | Events

High school students and their robotic creations have gathered at the University of Utah for a "Logo Motion" competition.

Teams create and control robots that navigate a 27'x54' playing field and hang triangles, circles and squares on a peg to earn points.

"The higher peg you get, the more points you get," said Nolan from team Proto-Type X. "Wwe're also trying to form a logo--the FIRST logo--the triangle-circle-square forms a logo. We do it in order and we double our points."

The three-day competition continues Saturday until 5 p.m. at the University of Utah's Hunstman Center.
