The Brickworld Team is proud to announce the following Mindstorms competitions
for this year’s event:
Stock Sumo – Are you a Mindstorms expert? It doesn’t matter for this
competition. Come and see if you can build a robot that can push everyone else
around. This competition will be held on Friday afternoon. There will be a
limited number of NXT kits available for individuals/teams to build a robot with
on Friday morning to compete. Steve Hassenplug and the whole Mindstorms
Coordinator Team will be available to provide expert assistance as you prepare
for the competition.
BOTS - In this super secret Build on the Spot challenge, you find out what
your robot has to do on Thursday at 1 PM. The competition starts at 8 PM.
Think fast. Build fast. Program fast. But, most of all, just have fun with
this competition.
FLL Climate Connections – In this repeat of the 2008 FLL challenge, the kids’
teams will get a chance to exact revenge on coaches that are willing to risk it
all to prove they are more prepared than their teams. Bring your robot and run
against the clock to see who can score the most and finish the fastest. At the
FLL World Festival last week, one team scored a perfect 400 points with 30
seconds to spare on the clock. This competition will be held Saturday.
Indy 5.00 – Racing is natural for all of us. Bring your best and race the
oval of the Indy 5.00 track. Qualifying begins on Sunday morning.
Open Sumo – Do you think you have the biggest, meanest robot on the block?
Come throw down with the other Mindstorms tough guys in open class sumo. The
fight begins Sunday afternoon.
You can find all the rules for these competitions at www.brickworld.us under
event info/competitions
We look forward to seeing you in Chicago when we light up the night with World
of Lights!!!
Regards, the Brickworld Team
Brickworld will be held June 18 - 21, 2009 at the Westin North Shore Hotel in
Wheeling, IL (a suburb of Chicago).
