公司宣布首次机器人竞赛的赞助

第一批机器人竞赛银供应商级别指定了10,000至50,000美元的贡献。Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions，Inc提供铅螺钉和防滑螺母对于2011年的FRC套件，分配给了2,100多个高中生团队。

"With its generous contribution and ongoing support to the FIRST Robotics Competition at the highest Silver Supplier level, Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions makes it possible for us to turn the FIRST vision of inspiring young people's interest and participation in science and technology into a reality," said FIRST president, Jon Dudas. "The participation of innovative companies such as Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions is a major reason why FIRST continues to experience phenomenal growth."

By providing components for the competition, FIRST suppliers are putting the latest technology in the hands of students, giving them the opportunity to apply the same tools used by professional scientists and engineers and ultimately helping them learn real-world skills they will carry into the workplace.

"Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions is proud to continue its support of the First Robotics Competition. This is a perfect event to develop the science and engineering skills needed for our future technology leaders", said Dan Montone, Marketing Director for Haydon Kerk.

On Jan. 8, FIRST teams were shown the playing field and received a Kit of Parts made up of motors, batteries, a control system, a PC and a mix of automation components - but no instructions. Working with Mentors, students have six weeks to design, build, program and test their robots to meet the season's engineering challenge. Once these young inventors create a robot, their teams participate in competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration and the determination of students.

在FRC中”LOGO MOTION™“机器人游戏，两支团队组成的两个联盟将在27 x 54英尺的赛场上与波兰人竞争，试图通过尽可能多的三角形，圆圈和方形徽标来赢得积分。每一个都将获得奖励积分。可以悬挂并组装徽标以形成第一个徽标的机器人。机器人还可以部署迷你机器人来爬垂直极线，以便有机会赢得更多积分。

FRC是一项年度竞赛，可帮助学生发现科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的兴奋以及STEM职业所能带来的奖励。1992年，第一场机器人竞赛始于28支球队，并在新罕布什尔州的一家高中体育馆中进行了一个14 x 14英尺的比赛。这个赛季预计将有2,073支球队（包括414支新秀球队）参加。

来自美国，澳大利亚，巴西，德国，以色列，墨西哥，土耳其和英国的50,000多名学生将参加美国，加拿大和以色列的48个地区赛事，以及9个地区比赛，以及一项州冠军和一项州冠军密歇根州？所有这些都在4月27日至30日在密苏里州圣路易斯举行的2011年首届锦标赛之前，本赛季，参加的FRC高中学生有资格申请近1500万美元的奖学金，来自领先的大学和学院的奖学金。
