Many thanks to Xerox for your generosity in supporting Harlem’s scientists and engineers of the future!
Officially Registered!
Our team is officially registered for the 2012 NYC Regional FIRST Robotics Competition at the Jacob Javits Convention Center March 16-18!
Special thanks to Con Edison and jcpenney for your generous support. We are still looking for more sponsors to make this season possible. If you are interested in partnering with us to support science and math education for minority students in Harlem, please see the Sponsor tab and contact us!

Rob’in Hood in Action
Watch our robot compete in the 2011 NYC Regional FIRST Robotics Competition! (Rob’in Hood is the one with the green hat and red feather.) We scored in both autonomous mode and tele-operated mode.

WPI BattleCry ’12
The Harlem Knights are traveling to Worcester, Massachusetts! We are 1 of the 48 challengers at this year’s BattleCry Robotics Competition May 20-21 hosted by Worcester Polytechnic Institute. We will be taking our 2011 robot Rob’in Hood to compete in this event, and are currently looking for sponsors to help us cover registration costs and travel expenses. Please contact us if you’re interested in supporting Harlem’s innovators and engineers of the future!

Game Info and Streaming
This year’s game is called “LogoMotion”, where the robot needs to take inflatable tubes of different shapes and hang them on pegs up to 8′ high (and in a certain order). During the last 10 seconds of the game, the robot can deploy a “minibot” that needs to race up a 10 foot pole. Two alliances of 3 robots each compete in each match. Our robot’s name is “Rob’in Hood”, based on our manipulator design that resembles a bow and arrow that “shoots” the tube onto the peg.
The competition is this weekend at the Jacob Javits Center (b/t 34th & 39th Street on 11th Ave, directions). If you can’t make it, you can still keep track of us via internet.
Saturday (3/12/10)
9am – 12:30pm (Qualifying Matches)
1:30pm – 5:30pm (Qualifying Matches)
Sunday 3/13/10 (don’t forget Daylight Savings Time!)9:30am – 12:15pm (Qualifying Matches)
1:30pm – 4:30pm (Playoffs)
There will be an active link on the NASA website to watch the tournament online. Look for TEAM 1660: Harlem Knights with the black and turquoise shirts on. (A schedule of the approximate times when team 1660 will compete should be here, as well as the current rankings … In the future, match videos should be archived here.
NYC Regional Competition
Meet our 2011 Robot, “Rob’in Hood”! This Saturday and Sunday (March 12-13) we will be taking Rob’in Hood to the NYC Regional FIRST Robotics Competition at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. This year’s game is called LogoMotion, and our team worked hard on designing and building our robot to pick up inflatable tubes and score them on pegs 8 feet high as well as deploying a mini-robot to race up a 10 foot pole. We will be competing with and against 65 other teams in the New York City area (as well as some international teams) for a place in the world championship. Your presence will help keep our team spirit high and increase the awareness of robotics in our community.
Location: Jacob K Javits Convention Center (655 West 34th Street)
Admission: Free
Schedule: Saturday (3/12) 9am – 6pm; Sunday (3/13) 9am – 5pm
Come support your future innovators and scientists! For more information about the competition, please visit www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/.
