NOVA will be airing their episode, The Great Robot Race, on Tuesday, May 22 at 8PM. The Great Robot Race is a great episode about the DARPA Grand Challenge - a race where autonomous robots (just like FLL robots) had to race across a desert track that was over 130 miles long! Teams from around the United States competed in the Grand Challenge for a $2 million prize. It was a great demonstration of robotics capabilities. Be sure to check it out!

If you miss it live, all NOVA episodes are available online on the PBS website. You can also find out more about The Great Robot Race episode here.
