This  is the NT  BEST  (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) Homepage

BEST is an annual competition in which local middle/high school students team up with technologists from local businesses to build a remote controlled robot to accomplish a given task.

We are sad to report that the NT BEST hub does not have a corporate sponsor for 2012. Local teams should make plans to join another local hub. Regional Hubs
