The competition was well attended with entries in the Rescue and Dance Sections, Soccer was not in evidence, maybe next year. Some robots performed, some didn't and some self destructed on the floor, but a great deal of fun was had by all. I know from talking to many of the students from 10 years upwards just how much hard work and preparation had been done and how much had been learned on the journey to the competition. Not to be overlooked is the work put in by their teachers and mentors, and the folks at Science Alive. If you are at a school not already entering consider coming along so that you can enter next year. The competition is sponsored by Toshiba and MTA. More info: http://www.robocupjunior.org.nz/
Robocup robots are always welcome at our Chch Robotics meetings and we'll do our best to provide courses for them to run on. And naturally we'll do our best to provide hints and tips on how to improve, and maybe you will have advice for us too.
