Unit 8. Racing Robots I have been interested in robots for as long as I can remember. The first thing I did when I entered high school was join the Robotech Robot Making Club. We get together after school every day and create our own robots. Nowadays, it is very easy to find kits to build your own robot, and these are what we use. The highlight of the year for us is the annual Robot Maze Race. Everyone who wants to take part has to make a small computer-controlled robot. You need to race it to the center of a maze. We work together in teams of three or four. This year, I am working with two students who won last year's competition, so I think we have a really good chance of winning. Our robot is about 30 centimeters high. It weighs 2 kilograms. It should be really quick. We have been practicing often, and we have already equaled last year's speed, so we just need to get a little faster. We are keeping the design of our robot secret. If we win, we will get $500. I hope this will be my lucky year.
