Heads up … details on the 9th Annual IEEE Ottawa Robotics Competition will be coming soon!

The Ottawa Robot Competition aims at bringing engineering awareness to students in grades 5 and 8 by presenting a fun and instructive approach to problem solving. Using Robolab LEGO MINDSTORMS kits, the students have around 10 weeks to design and build an autonomous robot. In teams of five to ten, they learn engineering concepts with the help of a mentor and come together to produce a working prototype.

Last year’s results are at: http://ottawa.ieee.ca/robotcomp/?q=node
