April 25-28...here in St. Louis too, so we don't have to fly or anything which is nice.  What do you mean by your last question?

Re: Going to a World Robotics Competition!!!!!

The competition involves two teams of three robots that play basketball...that's a very concise description...check out usfirst.org for more details if you want.

O_O Looks fascinating...
How long did it take you to build and program it?
Good luck for the World Championships.  big_smile

Re: Going to a World Robotics Competition!!!!!

Wow! That's great!  big_smile

Did you build a robot and stuff? And is this the one where you build robots to play soccer with other robots?  tongue

If not, how do they judge the robots? Does yours talk?

So many questions... need answers xP

yikes  Good luck!  In our robotics competition, we got tenth place out of twelve.  And that was only for our area.

xP Tis fine...

Yes, we did...started January 7th and got to build until February 22nd.  Then we had to pack it up because competitions elsewhere were starting.

We played basketball, not soccer, but I do think soccer was played one year...we're a rookie team so I wouldn't know off the top of my head.

They judge the robots mainly on their game performance, but the award we won judges your whole team on everything you do (public relations, a video project, our robot, safety, etc.).  No, our robot does not talk (sadly).

Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

Awesome, good luck. The idea of making a robot play sports seems pretty hard to me.  hmm

Yeah I was thinking of starting one because my friend who goes to my school (although he's a grade above me) was at the competition watching so he could probably help.
