Dallas BEST is part of BRI Inc. (BEST Robotics Inc). The contest exposes high school students to the concepts of engineering and technology. It's a team effort of building and operating a remote-controlled
machine. Each team is given an identical collection of parts to build a machine from. No other materials
can be used. The design and build process involves brainstorming and ingenuity. The contest fosters critical
thinking, hands-on participation, and teaming.
Another positive aspect is that the program allows students to discover alternative ways of solving
difficult challenges. It is not about winning or losing. It is about the process and the gaining of real-
life successes.
There is no charge to the students or the schools to participate in the BEST program.
