May 19th Special Contest Day

The SRS (Seattle Robotics Society) is hosting a special robotic contest day with an emphasis on all age groups getting acquainted with the SRS.

You can visit www.seattlerobotics.org for some pre-event information on the club.

The purposes of this event are:

To promote the SRS as the go-to South-end Puget Sound technology learning and experimentation place to be for both kids and adults!
To provide a 2^nd-day to Robothon using a south-end venue for robot learning and contests for all types of robotic enthusiasts!
To enable test-run of new or seldom run SRS contests with potential to add them to a coming year Robothon!
To allow another robot run opportunity to practice and prepare robot entries for next year Robothon!

Contests to be run on May 19^th – (in general, any age-group can enter any of these contests)

- Notes on outside course area at the Kent Fieldhouse
  - There is very little (if any) grass or surfaces other than black-top or concrete; since this venue is located in an industrial area of Kent. BUT there is plenty of usable outside course area to give your robot designs a good exercise test for sensors and cone detection. It is possible to setup and expect a robot to navigate around any point outside the Fieldhouse – the back of it as well as the parking lot that faces the street!!!
  - For SRS and Robothon robot entrants, the difference between the regular venue of the Seattle Center Mural Lawn and the Kent Fieldhouse is the lack of varied outdoor surfaces and changes in them like what the robot builder will encounter at the Seattle Center – otherwise, the Kent Fieldhouse is a great environment to test your Robo-Magellan design!!!!
