(1)
Robofest 2005 DVD is available
The Robofest 2005 DVD is now available for
distribution to anyone who would like a copy.
This 26 minute DVD highlights the students at each Regional and
International Contest Site as well as the World Robofest 2005
Championships.
Individuals who would like a copy of the DVD may pick
up a copy at the Robofest office (LTU Science building Room 112) for a cost of
$1.50 per DVD. Individuals who would
like a copy of the DVD mailed to them, can request a copy from Lori Birman at
the cost of $3.50 per DVD ($1.50 + $2 for postage). Contact Lori Birman at admin@robofest.org if you would like to pick up a

Robofest 2006 On-line Registration will Open this December
On-line Registration for Robofest 2006 will start in
December 2005 at Robofest’s official web site, www.robofest.net. Registration has been moved up to December to
give coaches additional time to form teams.
Robofest is pleased to announce that due to the
higher number of Exhibition Teams who participated in 2005, we have expanded
the Exhibition Divisions to include both a Junior Exhibition Division and a
Senior Exhibition Division for the 2006 contest.
The 2006 Registration fee per team will be $35.00 and
will be processed on-line as we did for 2005.
The Official 2006 Robofest Rules will be announced in January 2006. Stay tuned for exact dates on both
registration and rules on-line dates.
(3) World
Robofest 2006 Championships will be held
Robofest has scheduled the date of the World Robofest
2006 Championships:
Regional Qualifying contest sites will take place in
April. This change allows more time for teams to prepare for Robofest, and
moves Robofest away from other robotics competition dates scheduled for
April. We are hopeful that this schedule
change will make participation easier for everyone.
