• About ROBOFEST and FAQ

• Robofest的目标

• 
• • • Spark and motivate young students' interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies)
    • 挑战学生的STEM和ICT技能
    • Maximize students' learning by integrating STEM and ICT subjects through autonomous Robotics
    • 促进学生的创造力和创新思维
    • Recognize students' achievements in STEM and ICT through robotics
    • 构建the STEM and ICT work force of the future
    • 促进良好的团队合作和职业道德
      

• Robofest的功能

• 
• • • 机器人必须使用传感器并具有自主性（无硬连线遥控器），这意味着在Robofest中高度强调学习计算机编程。
    • 这是世界上第一次针对年级学生的自动机器人竞赛之一，其中游戏运动场的某些参数未知。直到比赛当天，游戏比赛问题的一部分尚不清楚。机器人启动后，可以决定/更改竞争环境的某些条件。
    • Robofest is fair and educational since no direct adult help is allowed. The robot should be constructed and programmed by students.
    • Some Robofest game competitions may require two independent robots working together.
    • 学生可以自由使用技术：他们可以使用任何机器人控制器（套件）。他们可以使用任何执行器和传感器。
    • 学生可以使用磁带，胶水，贴纸，螺栓和螺母，油漆等来构建机器人。我们鼓励他们的创造力。
    • Students have the freedom of choosing programming languages. Junior teams may use any icon-based graphical programming language. Text-based high level
    • programming languages are recommended for high school senior teams.
    • Robofest网站www.robofest.net为游戏提供了必要的技术信息。在包括网络研讨会在内的免费讲习班已在
    • Lawrence Tech for teachers, coaches, parents, and all participants of Robofest teams since 2000.
    • Robofest负担得起。您可以重复使用旧套件。设置每年可以重复使用材料的竞争环境是简单，简单，模块化和便宜的。
    • The registration fee is also affordable compared to other robotics competitions.
    • 每个人都是Robofest的赢家。每个注册参与者将获得个性化证书和参与奖章。根据表现结果和/或评判得分，奖杯将授予各个类别的获胜团队。顶级团队获得2,000美元的LTU可再生奖学金。
    • Robofest provides opportunities for gifted and advanced high school students to enter college level vision-centric robot challenges.
      

• 常问问题

• • What is the ideal team size? -In order to maximize students' learning, we recommend 2 ~ 3 students per robot.
  • 团队通常会开多久一次，为比赛做准备多久？-They can practice anywhere, even at home because the playing field is portable and modular. If they have some experience, we recommend one two hour meeting per week in January. Two meetings per week for a month till the qualifying competition.
  • 它可以与第一个乐高联盟赛季的准备相当吗？-由于Robofest没有诸如研究演讲之类的额外任务，因此大约是FLL努力的2/3。Robofest是一个很好的机会，可以了解有关计算机编程部分的更多信息。
  • Robofest是一次赛季结束的比赛，还是有多次比赛可以参加？-A team can participate in only one qualifying competition. If they qualify, they will be invited to compete at the regional level and later the World Robofest Championship in early May. There will be after-glow events and associate competitions that any team can participate in June.
  • I see the age divisions are (4)5th ~ 8th and 9th ~ 12th grades. Is this merely a recommendation?是否有明确定义的年龄截止日期？年轻的高级孩子可以参加吗？-Our general rule is that playing up is fine. But playing down requires the submission of age division waiver form and Lawrence Tech Robofest organizer's permission.
  • What is the Robofest Exhibition? -该展览是学生展示任何类型的机器人项目的机会。机器人可以跳舞，弹钢琴，制作汉堡包，踢足球等。我们鼓励完全创造力。
  • How does the unveiled unknown mission/problem in Games work?-A portion of the Game Competition mission is unveiled on the day of the competition during the opening ceremonies. Students must program their robots without adult assistance after the unveiled mission is announced. Thus, adults are not allowed in the team pit area after the unveiling of the unknown mission.
  • 我是一名以前参加比赛的教练，我有兴趣将团队提升到更高的编程水平。我不熟悉任何更高级别（C或Java）。您能帮我提供帮助我的培训或指导来源吗？-劳伦斯技术大学将于1月开始安排一系列研讨会，以帮助学生和教练。另外，加入ENEWS列表以了解我们的网络研讨会。还请访问以下链接：http://www.robofest.net/resources.htm
  • 我想开始一个邻里团队参加Robofest。团队必须来自学校吗？-Robofest encourages all types of teams; home schools, charter schools, private schools, public schools, neighborhood groups, civic groups, clubs, churches, scouts, etc.
  • 团队可以输入多个类别吗？-No. A team can choose only one category at one site.
  • 教练可以在网站上有多个团队吗？- 是的。
  • Can a coach have multiple coach IDs？- 是的。
  • Can a team member join more than one team? -It may be possible if the coach thinks the student can handle multiple tasks. However, in general, it is not recommended. There may be time conflicts during the competition.
