EBO Group Sponsors Highland High School’s Robotics Team

The EBO Group, Inc., located in Sharon Center, Ohio, is pleased to announce that it is a sponsor of Highland High School’s robotics team’s participation in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) competition for 2009. Nearly 30 Highland students are participating in this extracurricular activity that pits them against other high schools in a competition to see who can the most effective robot. Each team is given six weeks and the same starting materials to use science, math, engineering and technology to build a robot that can accomplish a set of specific tasks.

Working with Konstantinos “Gus” Matheou, a science teacher at the high school who founded the group, the students are learning to apply technological concepts to a prescribed set of actions. This year’s competition requires the teams to build a robot that will compete against other teams’ robots in a game which emulates picking up and throwing rocks on the moon. The competition will begin in Cleveland at the end of February.

“We are proud to be a sponsor the Highland Robotics team,” said Keith Nichols, President of EBO Group. “This type of competition is very important. It addresses the science, math and technology needs that are so prevalent in today’s workplace. We salute Mr. Matheou and his team and wish them the very best of luck.”

EBO Group is an employee owned company with 77 employees. More information can be found at www.ebogroup.com
