YEAH, IT WORKS!
FIRST ROBOTICS IS BUILDING A ROBOT... TO COMPETE AGAINST OTHER ROBOTS.
GIRL: IT'S LIKE DOING A SPORTS TEAM, EXCEPT YOU USE YOUR BRAIN MORE.
IT'S CRAZY.
THIS IS GAEL FORCE, TEAM 126.
BOY: CLINTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
DIFFERENT BOY: WE'RE ALL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
EVERY YEAR, THERE'S A DIFFERENT GAME.
WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS BALL, GET IT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TRACK, AND GET IT OVER THE BARS.
SO YOU TAKE YOUR IDEA AND GO CRAZY WITH IT.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] BOY: WE HAVE TO BE CREATIVE.
DIFFERENT BOY: THESE ARE JUST MOCK-UPS TO TEST IDEAS.
DIFFERENT BOY: YOU CAN USE THESE FUNDAMENTALS THAT YOU LEARN IN ENGINEERING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
DIFFERENT BOY: BUT IT'S NOT JUST SCIENCE AND MATH.
DIFFERENT GIRL: THERE'S THE LEADERSHIP AND THE STRATEGY SIDE, AND WE HAVE OUR OWN NEWSPAPER AND A WEBSITE.
LAST YEAR, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN US.
WE WON THE BOSTON REGIONAL, AND WE HAD AN AMAZING ROBOT.
[LOUD CHEERS] IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FIRST ROBOTICS TEAM, JUST FIND SOME PEOPLE IN YOUR SCHOOL WHO ARE INTERESTED AND JUST DO IT.
