On Thursday, July 23, 2024 a charged-up event is scheduled to happen just prior to the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants. The fans at Dodger Stadium will witness a unique event – the ceremonial first pitch will be thrown out by a robot!
The robot, designed by the Culver City High School Robotics Team with some help from another high school team, will throw out the first pitch prior to the 1:10 p.m. start.
Robotics Coach Craig Singer said students will join three other robotics teams in a STEM event that begins at 9 a.m. that day sponsored by the Dodgers and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The students will then attend the game; and one student will accompany the team’s robot as it tosses the ball from the mound to the plate.
