View MoreFIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), organized by the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) global robotics community, enables teams of students to design, program and build a robot using a standard set of parts and a common set of rules to compete in a themed head-to-head challenge.
As part of its global educational program, SprutCAM Tech provided its partner, TMIC, based in New Taipei City, Taiwan, with 41 educational licenses of SprutCAM X to equip a classroom in its office. In this classroom, students and teachers of New Taipei Municipal An Kang High School were trained to use SprutCAM X in preparation for the FRC.
In late February 2023, 142 students and teachers from seven of the eight schools in the New Taipei FRC eight-school alliance traveled to Silicon Valley, Hawaii, New York and Canada to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
TMIC plans to train students and teachers from the remaining schools in the New Taipei FRC eight-school alliance and, with the support of SprutCAM Tech, to provide SprutCAM X educational licenses to all schools participating in the New Taipei FRC eight-school alliance.
Andrei Kharatsidi, co-founder of SprutCAM Tech, says, “FIRST Robotics Competition is one of the most famous educational initiatives popularizing robotics among children, teenagers and young people in different countries. Its unique format, combining the study of advanced technologies with the excitement of competition, is the best one there is for the younger generation. That is why we immediately supported the initiative of our partners from Taiwan. Moreover, at the beginning of 2023 our company directly provided SprutCAM X licenses to an FRC team from the USA. We are open for cooperation with FIRST Robotics Competition teams from all over the world.”
