Robot Town

Robot Town

In 2006, Caterpillar Inc. - a worldwide supplier of technology and heavy machinery - sponsored two teams for the International F.I.R.S.T. robotics competition, founded by inventor Dean Kamen. Re-live the excitement as the teams design and build their robots, travel from Peoria, Illinois to the regional competition in Chicago, then journey to Atlanta, Georgia, for the national competition.
