Invitation to Robofest
Robofest is a bit different from other robotics
competitions.
- Teams
use 2 autonomous robots to complete their challenge.
- Robot controllers can be any such as Handy Board, Boe-Bots, I-Robo, and Lego
RCX as long as one 8-bit microprocessor is used.
- Robots can be built from a variety of materials, if Lego
robots are used, teams are not limited to LEGO parts.
- It is not expensive to have a team. Easy to setup and move
playing fields.
- The
focus is on programming; a variety of languages can be used. There are mystery elements they won't
know until that day. After the unveiling of unknown missions, teams will
program their robots to solve the rest of the challenge that morning. Teams who
solve the challenge first, receive extra points
- Competitions may limit students� creativity. Robofest
invites teams to show off their autonomous robotics projects.
