This year’s Robotics Competition will showcase some area Middle School teams involved in the US First Lego® Challenge. The Teams are in the planning and testing phase and will not compete until the 2005-2006 school year. Members of the Planning Committee are mentoring several of the teams in systems thinking. Activities of functional analysis, requirement analysis, and concept of
operation are being introduced to the teams. The teams have to accomplish several task such as open and latch a gate, move a CD from the station to a designated location, and climb a set of stairs and end on a platform.

On Wednesday July 13, 2005, the teams will set up and demonstrate some of their learning and a robotics scrimmage. The teams will hold a round robin scrimmage and answer questions about their activities. We hope you will stop by and watch the scrimmages.
