Falcon BEST Robotics Competition

Bowling Green State University hosts the only BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) robotics competition in Ohio, Indiana or Michigan. High school student-led teams are challenged to design a remote-controlled robot, ultimately competing against one another at Falcon BEST. Teams are also judged on their marketing presentation, project engineering notebook, team entrepreneurship interview and additional categories such as video and website design and robot modeling.

"BEST Robotics may look like a robot competition but at our heart we are a workforce development effort aimed at exciting students about STEM fields and giving them the skills to be future leaders. At our core, BEST Robotics is people - the creative and enthusiastic students, the dedicated and caring volunteers, the visionary corporate sponsors, and the hard-working staff and board who lead the whole effort" - Mike Bright, BRI Board President
