Competition III Press Release
For Immediate Release!
Ivy Tech State College and the Evansville chapter 73 of The Society of
Manufacturing Engineers announce the Student Robotics Challenge III titled
'Search and Destroy'. This event is a departure from the last two
competitions that involved timed obstacle courses. 'Search and Destroy' will
take place on an elevated table. Autonomous robots (not remote controlled)
will maneuver around obstacles to find objects and push them off the table
top without toppling off themselves.
Registration is open to area middle, high school, and college teams. Entry
will be limited to 26 teams. One team per school will be admitted through
February 12th. After that, multiple teams from the same school will be
admitted on a first-come-first-served basis until the 26 team limit is met.
Applications will be available soon for download from the Ivy Tech State
College robotics web site at:
http://faculty.ivy.tec.in.us/~scombs/robotics/competition
Teams will receive their LEGO Team Challenge kits, the exact scope of the
competition, and programming instructions at Ivy Tech State College on
February 22nd between the hours of 2 and 4pm. The competition will be held
in the Ivy Tech State College commons on April 5th between Noon and 2:30pm.
Ivy Tech State College and The Society of Manufacturing Engineers are
pleased to add Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana as a corporate sponsor to
this growing event. Contributors to the 2001 competitions included the IVY
Tech State College, chapter 73 of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers,
the IVY Tech National Association of Industrial Technology (NAIT) Student
Chapter, Ferro Corporation, CED-Evansville Supply Company, ALFAB Metals
Corporation, and Unigraphic Solutions.
