Robofest Exhibition Competitions |
Since a game competition with fixed rules may limit students' creativity,
Robofest offers a stage for exhibitions to demonstrate their creations.
The robotics exhibition is a great way for students to show off their imagination
and creativity. Each team has complete freedom to create autonomous robotics
projects such as robot pets, robot artists, dancing robots, storytelling with
robots, robots for scientific experiments, and practical robotics applications.
Teams are composed of one to seven members. In general, two students are
recommended per robot. Computer controlled robots with sensors may be of any size and can use
any material as long as it is safe for team members as well as spectators. Hard-wired
remote control is not allowed. However, wireless host computer/robot control via software messages
is allowed. Human interaction with the robots is allowed and encouraged.
