coming up:
We have some fantastic
events lined up for you this year:
Monday,
15th March 2010
Savoy Place, London, UK
IET: LEGO Mindstorms-
Robot Wars!
The Biggest Young
Professionals' Event of 2010!
The IET Young Professionals London have
teamed up with LEGO Mindstorms to bring you
an exciting robot challenge!
Calling all robot enthusiasts: test your
mechanical, electrical and electronic,
control and systems skills! Six teams will
have a change to battle it out at IET Young
Professional flagship event of 2010, using
the LEGO Mindstorms robotic kit to complete
challenges and to beat each other!
LEGO Mindstorms NXT is not child's play!
It's a powerful processing system
interfacing with distance, colour and light
sensors and servo motors. Programming is
quick and fun in Labview (NXT-G)! The tasks
will include navigating around a maze and
performing some interesting challenges! The
teams shall be judged by both speed and
technological finesse, so the more elegant
yet practical your solution, the more points
your score.
Come and watch: A special Robotics talk for
the audience!
This competition will not only be great to
enter, but also to watch! Come and cheer for
your favourite team while they compete. But
to make it even more interesting to come and
watch, we have invited a professor from the
University of Reading to give a call on the
developments of Robotics especially for you!
