| The sport chosen for the Canada FIRST competition for 2001 was
Robobiathlon. Many of the participants came into the competition knowing
nothing about robots, but after dividing individuals into groups and attending many
meetings, we were able to learn and become experts in our own fields. Using the kit
provided by Canada FIRST, we were able to create a robot that moves, fires and aims. 
The Robot
Here are some pictures taken of SEK-C (Saint
Andrew's Electronic Kinetic Control) Robot.
