Junkyard Robots to Guide Teams, Visitors at the DECC!

December 22, 2011

By Lauren W.

Hey FRC robot fanatics and pack rats! Planners for the Lake Superior Regional have designed a creative and green project with FIRST Teams’ creativity and building abilities in mind. The DECC (Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center) is the venue for the Lake Superior Regional competition. It’s a large facility where people tend to get lost. Solution: Teams competing at the Lake Superior Regional are invited to build and enter into competition a “robot” made out of only bits, pieces, recyclables and/or on-hand materials (hence: Junkyard Robot) that will be used to hold signs and point people in the right directions. Read this flyer for all of the competition details. The deadline to enter is February 21. Interested in entering your team's Junkyard Robot? Send an email to Mark Lawrence, markl56821@aol.com, stating your team's intention to build a Junkyard Robot; include your Team number and the contact info (name, email and cell phone) for the person in charge of your team's Junkyard Robot.
