Robots Descend on the Thomas & Mack
March madness is coming to the Thomas & Mack Center, but this kind involves robots rather than basketballs.

Robots designed and built by more than 1,000 high school students from across the nation will slip and slide around a field to rack up points and earn nationwide bragging rights during the annual competition.

To be held March 27-28, the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Las Vegas Regional combines elements of sport with science and technology in a high-energy, team-driven contest. The event is hosted by the Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering.
