Start date: 01/04/2023, End date: 01/04/2023

We regret that the robotics contest on April 2, 2021 was canceled due to health problems and the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We had to make a decision on the contest in late January and it was unclear at the time how things would go (at the time, several UA Engineering events in March were scheduled to be virtual and we didn't think our contest would fit in. a virtual model). We have the Bryant Conference Center reserved for April 1st 2023 and we hope to see you at the next event! Several excellent robotics competitions already exist, such as the popular BEST Robotics events in Alabama and the FIRST Lego League world competitions. Our contest complements these other events by filling missing gaps in participation. After listening to various K-12 teachers, it was observed that in Alabama a competition is needed that meets the following objectives: A competition open to all grades in K-12. An event in spring that offers students studying robotics additional activities to do throughout the school year (rather than just a fall focus). An emphasis on programming skills, resulting in autonomous control of the robot, rather than a robot being operated by a remote control. Points are scored in this new competition based on clever solutions to student schedules, rather than a teammate's skill with a remote control. An entry fee that is affordable - only $ 25 per participant (several Lego competitions have registration, fees, and kits cost over $ 1,000). The competition is open to all Alabama students (public, private or home schools) of all levels (elementary, middle, high school). Teams consist of 2-5 participants. We have room for around 60 teams. The entry fee is $ 25 per participant. The competition will feature several obstacle courses that must be traversed over a three-hour period by an autonomous robot programmed by each team. Robot programs for navigating the obstacle course can be written in any language (e.g. Mindstorms LabView, Java / Lejos, RobotC, C #, etc.). It is assumed that participants already know how to program in the language selected prior to the competition. Students will use their own robots and computers to compete in the competition. Robots should be assembled in a basic configuration prior to competition. Each registered student will receive a pizza lunch, a snack break, a competition bag, a T-shirt and a certificate of participation. Teachers and family members will have access to on-site meals for a fee. Prizes and awards will be awarded to the top four teams in each division (Elementary School, Middle School, High School). Teachers, parents and family members are encouraged to participate (let us know on the registration form). In addition to viewing the contest, special sessions will be provided to visitors during the event.

Amazing Robots - competition for teams of universities and universities of applied sciences The aim of the competition is to show modern technologies and creativity. The aim of the competition is to expand the visibility and interest of information technology, robotics and artificial intelligence and encourage students to combine knowledge of separate fields without bias. A message is also given to industry: new technologies must be used in both products and production without prejudice. The task is to create a robot that makes something interesting. What it does, the team has to invent. The aim is to make creativity and technical skills flourish. Few restrictions and a lot of freedom are given. The competition is open to students of universities and universities of applied sciences. The competition group members must be students of the educational institution on the day of the competition. The maximum group size is eight students. The competition takes place in connection with the Messukeskus Teknologia fair. Assessment The following criteria are used in the evaluation of the robot's performance. Moving the robot or its gestures Visual appearance of the robot Vocal world of the robot Technical challenges and the actual implementation of the robot Cooperation between the active functions of the robot. How the robot reacts to its environment. (Understands or reacts to gestures, speech, music, audience, etc.). In addition, the evaluation takes into account the basic idea of â€‹â€‹the robot and how well the robot reflects that idea. This is related to the short introductory presentation of the robot that was given at the beginning of the performance. The jury is made up of experts from different sectors. The first prize is â‚¬ 10,000. The competition is organized by the Association of Information Technology and Electronics (Tietotekniikan ja Elektroniikan seura, TiES) in collaboration with the magazine Mikrobitti and Messukeskus.
