More than 40 high school robotics teams will roll into North Brunswick beginning at 8 a.m. on Nov. 12 when Raider Robotix-FRC Team 25 serves as the host to Brunswick Eruption in its 15th off-season robotics competition at North Brunswick Township High School, 98 Raider Rd., North Brunswick.
Teams from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and beyond will compete in FIRST Stronghold, a medieval-inspired game in which two alliances made up of three robotics teams each will try to capture their opponents’ castle tower by scoring balls, or “boulders”, into openings.
The event is open to the public. Admission is free. Donations of non-perishable food items and gently used shoes will be accepted.
Food and drinks can be purchased at the event as well as souvenir t-shirts.
The Evil Sundae contest will be held prior to elimination matches, and awards to the competing robotics teams will be handed out at the end of the day.
Also during Brunswick Eruption, tickets for a Team 25 fundraising breakfast on Dec. 11 at Applebee’s in Milltown will be available.
