The Robots are returning!  For the second year in a row, Nipissing University welcomes more than 900 high school students with a passion for designing, building and programming robots to compete at the annual FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Canada North Bay Regional Competition taking place March 26 – 28 in the Robert J. Surtees Student Athletics Centre.
