They've battled it out for two days and three more Hawaii schools are now advancing to the so called "Super Bowl of Smarts."

This year's FIRST in Hawaii Regional Robotics Competition came to an end Saturday afternoon.

32 Hawaii teams and one from Australia tried to score the most points by getting their robots to hang as many logo pieces as possible.

"This competition is a very exciting. I have to say I think the Hawaii regional is just it really is a standard for FIRST regionals all across the world. We're a small regional, but the excitement never stops," said Rebecca Barone of Waialua High School.

Waialua, McKinley and Kealakehe High Schools won this weekend's competition and they'll join Waianae High School along with Sacred Hearts Academy and Waiakea, which already secured spots to compete in the championships next month in Saint Louis, Missouri.
