RoboCup at USC
19 July, 2005
Dance, rescue and soccer are words not usually associated with
robots - but for 28 teams of local school students the challenge is
to build a robot to compete in one of those categories in the
RoboCup spectacular.
RoboCup held at the Innovation Centre, at the University of the
Sunshine Coast Wednesday 20 July from 12.30pm.
The event was a joint project between Education Queensland and
the University and focuses on students learning the skills of
collaboration and preparation and closely links Mathematics,
Science and Technology.
It was all in the name of fun and learning, and with many
schools using robotics as a key learning tool, RoboCup is the
perfect event for students to showcase their robotic know-how and
test their robot-making skills.
The students, from Years 4 to 12, either constructed their own
robots or made them using Lego™ Mind Storms for schools robotic
kits.
