FIRST is the short way of saying the organizations complete name: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.Almost 1,700 high school teams entered a level of competition called LUNACY.In January, the organization sent supplies for robots to each team. The teams had six weeks to build robots that could compete in the LUNACY game. The playing area had six robots, three on each team. Each robot had another vehicle, or trailer(拖车), connected to it. The robots had to pick up large balls and throw them into the trailers of opposing robots. The robots were moving on a surface where they could slide. An alliance(联盟) of teams from California, Illinois and Michigan won the LUNACY competition.A second competition involved building a robot that could travel on uneven surfaces, move objects with unusual shapes and resist physical stress.Another competition was for younger students, aged from 9 to 14.They had to design, build and program robots to explore the Earths climate.American inventor Dean Kamen started FIRST in 1989.
