    For the 2008 Carroll County 4-H and FFA Fair, the club members participated in a robotics competition.  In January 2008 six teams of club members received identical kits of VEX Robotics hardware.  The VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) Bridge Battle game was used for the 2008 Fair.

Music played all day long. So what’s a robotics competition without some dancing?
