	BEST Robotics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The final robot must fit in a 2 foot cube at the beginning of each round of competition; once a round has started, the robot can expand to be bigger than this size with retractable arms, etc. The robot must also weigh under 24 pounds.
		BEST Robotics includes two elements: a robot competition, in which teams attempt to score as many points as possible in head-to-head competition, and the BEST award.
		The BEST award is more complex, encompassing such tasks as writing a high-quality technical notebook or engineering journal, designing a website, an interview, delivering an oral presentation to a panel of judges, and creating a table display booth.

	Billiken BEST \| Saint Louis University
		BEST offers itself as a tool that corporations can use to construct a pipeline for supplying themselves with tomorrow's engineers, scientits and technologists.
		BEST relies upon corporate, private and college/university funding to help sponsor local and regional robotics competitions - at no cost to participating schools.While other organizations do sponsor robotics competitions, Saint Louis University views a partnership with BEST Robotics, Inc. as the one that best serves the community.
		BEST therefore enjoys a significant advantage in recruiting participants; in fact, teachers who "coach" BEST robotics teams describe this difference as the reason for their (and their school's) willingness to participate in BEST.
