Here's more news about the 2009 contest. We have posted the rules for the Junior, Walking, High School, and Senior Divisions and we’re posting additional links frequently.  Thanks for your patience.  We will complete all posting as soon as possible, but certainly within a week or two.  This year’s changes make the contest even more exciting.  Here is a brief overview:

 

  “House on Fire” Expert event will be the most realistic fire-fighting contest ever.
   New Assistive Robotics contest “RoboWaiter” challenges autonomous robots to carry food to a person with mobility impairment.
   New “Best Unified Robot Performance“ prize recognizes robot performance, Olympiad exam score, and poster ranking.
   Operating mode deductions apply to all fire-fighting division.  New deductions for arbitrary starting location and variable door location.
   In firefighting divisions separate prizes for kit and unique robots.
•   One high school division.

 

Registration will open at midnight on Sunday, February 1, 2009. We look forward to your participation in our 16th annual event.
 
Thank You!
