NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Students in Brooklyn are putting on the finishing touches for a special robotics project.

They're gearing up for a big competition this weekend.

Seventh and eighth grade students had their final practice Friday morning at the Saint Saviour Catholic Academy in Park Slope.

This year's theme is city design.
