2009 RULES AND REGULATIONS

VI Poster Contest

The updated TCFFHRC poster session takes on greater weight  than before because it is a factor in the 2009 World Champion—Best Unified Robot Performance (BURP) award (Section 2.1).  This year’s poster session will be judged on Saturday, April 4 by a panel of Trinity College professors.  Best poster awards will be given in each contest Division.

Guidelines: 

1. The poster presents the design of the team’s firefighting or assistive robot.

2. Teams will register for the poster session as part of our web-based registration process.

3. The limit on poster size is W = 1 m., H = 0.7 m.  Poster stands will be provided to those who register for the poster session.

4. On Saturday April 4 each team will give a 5-minute, focused oral presentation to the judges.  The presentation schedule will be available at check-in time.  Teams must make their presentation in front of their poster at the assigned time.
