Sphero Hero Competition

What better way to tell an original story than to program a robot to tell if for you?

Sphero Hero is all about a team of students creating an original (short) dramatic story, creating an obstacle course as the stage for their story, and programming a Sphero (or any programmable robot) to navigate the stage autonomously while students narrate their tale to judges (3-5-minute limit).

Sphero Hero is a BYOD category at the State STLP Championship, where teams will build their own sets and use their own robots and materials to compete.
