2009 Smart Move

December 5, 2009

“Smart Move” is a two-part Challenge. In the Project phase of the Challenge, teams identify a problem with the way people, animals, information, or things travel in their community, create an innovative solution, and share it outside the team. In the robot game part of the Challenge, teams confront some of today’s transportation safety and efficiency problems and apply robotics, sensor technology, and fresh thinking to solve them. Missions in the Challenge include efficiency planning, object avoidance, climbing steep bridges with no guard rails, passenger transport, and crash tests.

“Smart Move” gives kids a hands-on, real-world experience allowing them to use their imaginations and creativity in combination with science and technology, and lets them experience first-hand the very real and exhilarating struggle that even the leaders and inventors in the world face,” said Dean Kamen, FIRST founder.
