The FIRST Robotics Rebound Rumble was held Friday and Saturday at Wayne State University, pitting schools from Flint, Okemos and Temperance against schools from Detroit to Pontiac and places in between. The program is run by FIRST Robotics, an organization seeking to build science and technology leadership in the U.S. through mentoring and hands-on training. Students got their robot kits in January. Many wrote business proposals to seek sponsors to help them compete, said Jeffrey Block, assistant vice president of special events for Wayne State.
