Robotics Challenge
The NFPA Robotics Challenge helps encourage high school students to use fluid power in real-world applications while also connecting them to resources that support their pursuit of higher education and fluid power careers.
One way we do this is by bringing an awareness of pneumatic applications in robotics to high school students and to stimulate increased use of fluid power products in these competitions.
Do you plan to incorporate pneumatics into your 2025 competition robot? Are you interested in learning more about fluid power from an industry professional?
Are you interested in pursuing fluid power in higher education, and as a career?
Please contact Haley Nemeth at hnemeth@nfpa.com with any questions.
