As in the real world, there are no free rides; to
qualify for the trip, each student had to put in long hours, often 80 or more, of
robot - creating and had to help raise sponsorship money.

qualify — just think of the agriculture and manufacturing jobs now performed by
robots and machines — they also offer a fantastic chance to create new or adapted professions,
as explored in the latest Hays Journal.
