Hands-on education: Putting the principles of math and science to exciting, practical use is what the Robots EAST contest is all about. Deven Briggs, front, and Anthony Montgomery, behind, are two members of the Tobique Valley Robotics Club working to bring Rambot to life for the May 2-3 event. During the competition, the robot will attempt to capture treasure from his opponents and secure the flag to claim maximum points.
