ROBO LEAGUE 2015: ROAD WITH NO LIMITS
On the planet NXT a race is held every year in which robot entrants compete for the coveted title of fastest and most agile robot. This year will be no different. Back in October the Ministry of Speed selected the competitors, who will have just one month to prepare physically, psychologically and electronically for this arduous race. The grand event will take place on 3 December 2015. May the best one win!
