He made his way down the field, finds its target, the target can do so before time runs out?
No, it's a sports game, but to see a robot made with Lego bricks, and built and programmed by a team of young students will participate in the early ® LEGO ® League (FLL) robotics tournament. On Saturday, November 19th marked our sixth year of holding a qualifying tournament at the headquarters of Google. This year, 16 teams of Bay Area 9-14 years participated, giving energy to our school with enthusiasm and even a spontaneous conga line or two.
I am a computer engineer with a longstanding interest in LEGO robotics staff and, more importantly, for the children excited about doing science and technology. When fellow Google engineer Albert Bodenhamer and learned of the event for some time, we have assembled a team of volunteers from Google, has been in contact with the regional coordinators FLL-profit group learning and celebrate our first tournament game . Now we host the event each year, with a staff of 25 to 30 users of Google, spouses and friends who spend the day volunteering as judges and referees and help with all the setup and logistics.
Center of the action during the day of the tournament was two sizes of table tennis tables with these bare-legged robots competed against the clock to complete a series of physical activities, all related to the issue of food safety tournament. Small tables covered with "props" by robots. For example, at one point, the robots were scoop, carry and empty plastic distributors of "bacteria" in a plastic basin in miniature on the opposite side of the table. Referees in striped shirt and black-white and started and stopped the clock and keep your eyes off the penalties, the MC gave play-by-play action. At the same time, parents and coaches crowded around, cheering and taking pictures, and the action was sent to the screen for all to see Jumbo.
When not competing at the tables, he met with three different judges. One of the jurors asked the students their robots (as designed, how it worked), while another group was asked on the baseline values (how they worked together as a team, learning, scholarship). The third front of the judges, the teams presented their research projects and answered questions. Research, while related to robotics, seeks to integrate research and problem-solving success factors of any real-world design team in the competition.
At the end of the day it announced rewards. Bites and Bytes team won the basic values, Droids Decon won the award for best research project won Xtreme designers to design the robot and Cyborgs Cougar Flight won for the performance of the robot. LegoNauts won the Champion. Seven teams advanced to the championship of the district, to be held in Redwood City, California in January. Finally, the tournament came to national and international level.
It’s important, not to mention fun, to support creative outlets for young people to get involved in computer science and technology. Competitions like FLL introduce a whole new generation to the world of technology and engineering, and it’s always a blast to support the students who are participating—even if I am a bit exhausted after that conga line.
