The Ruckus is an annual off-season FIRST Robotics Competition. This year, 36 high school teams come from far and wide with robots they have designed and built to compete in a race against the clock. The game, Recycle Rush, has robots manipulating storage totes, containers and pool-noodle “litter” to score points. Spectators watch as stacks of totes rise and topple through the match. The event also features a mega-drive that brings in food, toy and book donations.
