FIRE FIGHTING ROBOT CONTEST TRINITY COLLEGE HARTFORD CONNECTICUT

2009 RULES AND REGULATIONS

VII Regional Contest Events
1.1 Establishing a Regional Event
1.1.1 Requirements
1.1.2 Procedure

1.1 Establishing a Regional Event
 

Trinity College’s Fire-Fighting Home Robot Contest rules are published on this website. We invite you to use these rules without charge for the limited purpose of use as the basis for a non-profit educational project or to organize your own non-profit firefighting robot contest. You acknowledge and agree by your use of these rules, whether for an official regional contest or an unofficial contest, that Trinity College assumes no responsibility or liability for such use of the contest rules by you or any third parties. These rules are provided “as is” without any warranty of any kind.

If you plan to use the Trinity rules, we request that you send a 50-100 word description of your activity to the contest Director via email.

Note that your use of the Trinity rules does not automatically qualify your robot to participate in the official Trinity College Fire-Fighting Home Robot Contest (“TCFFHRC”) to be held at Trinity College.

 

1.1.1 Requirements

 

Official regional contests are public events based on the Trinity rules found on this website. The characteristics of official regional contests and Trinity’s relationship to them are listed below.

In order to hold an official regional contest, the contest should meet these requirements:

  • Longevity: regional contests will have a life span greater than one year.

  • Open participation: regional contest organizers will publicize their contest and invite the public to participate.

  • Non-profit: Regional contests are not-for-profit events.

  • Qualification is not required for the 2009 TCFFHRC.

  • Availability of advice: Regional contests may ask Trinity for advice regarding event organization.

  • Web links: We will put a link to each regional contest that meets these requirements on our website, and vice-versa.

1.1.2 Procedure

 

In order to become an official regional contest and to obtain the benefits listed above, please send the contest director an email message indicating your interest and confirming your agreement to the requirements described above. In turn you will be sent an application form that asks such information as name and date of event, expected participation, contest divisions that you wish to offer, and names of sponsors.

When planning your event please note that normally regional contests are held within eight weeks prior to the official Trinity College Fire-Fighting Home Robot Contest to be held at Trinity College.

Requests for new regional contests should be sent to the Director at least six months before the next Trinity contest.
