Robofest Exhibition Archive
Since a game competition with fixed rules may limit students' creativity, Robofest Exhibition offers a way for students to show off their imagination. 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 five 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 and 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.
