2012 CEIA Schools Lego Robot Competition - RescueBot^TM

 Since October, Cork students are busy engineering RescueBots to compete in the final of the 8^th Annual Cork Electronics Industry Association (CEIA) Lego Robot Competition which will take place at Cork Institute of Technology on Thursday, 9^th February 2012.

The competition is undertaken in conjunction with University College Cork (UCC), Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Tyndall National Institute and the support of CEIA member companies. A key aspect of the initiative is that engineers, researchers and technologists from these institutes provide mentor support for the teams and this is an important opportunity to give the students an insight into potential careers in the industry. 

From 2008, the 1st and 2nd place teams in this competition earn a place in Ireland's First Lego League. Students will compete in this competition when they are in Transition Year and further details can be found on www.roboticsireland.com
