Stuyvesant Robotics Showcase

Stuyvesant High School’s award-winning Robotics team cultivate skills in engineering, programming, marketing, teamwork, and leadership. At this event, students will demonstrate their robotic designs, educating and inspiring people of all ages about the wonders of science and technology.

StuyPulse, along with their sister teams, StuyFission and StuyFusion, will be demonstrating their robots in two showcases: the FRC Rapid React Game and the FTC Power Play Game.

FRC Rapid React Game: Like basketball, students will drive life-sized robots to shoot hoops into various hoops for a range of point values.

FTC Power Play Game: With smaller-scale robots, the objective of this game is to get cones on junctions of various heights for a range of point values.
