The 2nd Austin Robofest tournament is at Hill Country Middle School
on April 12th from 1:00-5:00. Teams will check in between 10:00-11:00.
The World Championship is April 26th at Lawrence Tech University in
Michigan.
Team registration for Robofest is open! Go to
www.robofest.net to learn more
and sign up there. New coaches must set up an account first. Each team
must also register a volunteer for either set up or clean up on the
day of the tournament. The registration fee to Robofest is $55. You
can mail it or paypal it to them. The fee for the Austin tournament is
$20, and that is payable the day of the tournament.
The Austin Robofest tournament will have two categories: Exhibition
and Game Competition. Both have two divisions: Junior is 5th-9th grade
and Senior is 9th-12th grade. Each team may enter only one category.
The Exhibition teams will create any project they are inspired to
do with autonomous robots. They are give 4 minutes at the tournament
to explain and demonstrate their project. They also make a
presentation board about their project and set up a table that is
visited by judges & spectators on the day of the tournament.
In the Game Competition, teams compete on a course with two
autonomous robots to complete the missions. Teams have complete
freedom to choose materials & any programming platforms to create
their robots. There are no limitations on size or the number of motors
or sensors. This year's challenge is called Robosavers. Two robots
work together to remove debris and rescue people on a course
simulating a collapsed building or mine. In the past there has been a
separate Mystery Challenge for this competition, but this year it is
built in as unknown factors in the course. The course is created from
reusable materials that are purchased from local hardware stores.
At the Robofest site,
www.robofest.net be sure to download the 2008 rule, in addition to
the Game Competition at the top. The Exhibition tab at the top doesn't
give any info right now, but the description is in the 2008 rule.

This group is for those living on or near Lackland Air Force Base that
have decided to homeschool. There is no statement of faith and all are
welcome. This is a very new group so I have scheduled a park day on
Thursdays at 1 p.m. at Lion Park on Lackland. We ask that you join the
yahoo group before attending park days. This park day will repeat
every week unless members decide on a different day. Hope to meet some
homeschoolers at the park soon!
