  • Battlebots Newsletter: Preparing for Competition March, 2021 As the Newest Design Team, Battlebots Has Never Competed Before
    Battlebots Newsletter: Preparing for Competition March, 2021 As the newest design team, Battlebots has never competed before. Our first competition would have been in March of 2020. However, COVID cancelled all of our events that year. With that being said, the team will be competing with two robots this year: the 15lb robot from 2020 and the 30lb robot from 2021. Students are excited to finally be able to see their robots compete at Bots KC in Kansas City, MO and Norwalk Havoc Robot League in Norwalk, CT. Navigating the logistics of traveling safely to competitions has been a challenge, but we are hopeful everything will work out. The state of what is safe nowadays is always changing and we want to make sure we take all the precautions necessary to compete responsibly. In February, the team performed construction on building a full scale testing enclosure for our robots. The former 12ft square arena has been extensively upgraded. Measuring a full 16ft by 16ft with 8ft ceiling it meets the size of competition standards and allows our team to test and practice safely on a regular basis. The expansion was a whole team effort to construct. We tore down the old enclosure and used its components within the new arena to save cost of the material and manufacturing time. Now that the new box is complete, the team will really be able to see what the robots are capable of on a larger scale. Our new 30lb robot has been named “Option 14”. Its name is somewhat of an inside joke on the team.

  • Everything You Wanted to Know About Starting a Robotics Team but Were Afraid to Ask
    Everything You Wanted to Know About Starting a Robotics Team But Were Afraid to Ask Julie Pitman Art Teacher & Robotics Coach Edgewood Elementary Understanding the Challenge Get the Goods Assemble the Team Get Roboting! Starting a team requires How do you know who to Get out there and a set of specialized recruit? compete! equipment, training, Who is there to help? tinkering, and registration with the What is going on!?!? league. (panic is totally normal) Get the Goods Knowing what you’re getting into can either ease your mind or cause more anxiety. The State Robotics Initiative (SRI) is a collection of grant funds managed by TechPoint Foundation for Youth that provides schools with robotics kits and resources to establish teams. Is it making a difference? Totally TechPoint for Youth has an incredible amount of resources available online. Just so you know: It’s NOT First Lego League (FLL). YES It’s a different competition, different league, different pieces. Just so you know: It’s NOT Battlebots. In tournament play, teams are randomly paired. Cooperation is rewarded. Just so you know: Building the robot does NOT require an engineering degree. VEX IQ build instructions come with the kits, and alternative build plans are available online (often with video tutorials). Just so you know: Your best bet is to buy the VEX IQ Super Kit from the source. It’s $329.99 vexrobotics.com With the “brain” and controller directly from VEX Headquarters in Texas. A similar set may be cheaper on amazon.com for $277.73, BUT It might not be competition ????? compliant.
