THE V REPUBLICAN ROBOTICS FESTIVAL WILL BRING TOGETHER ABOUT HUNDRED PARTICIPANTS

92 schoolchildren will participate in the V Republican Robotics Festival, which will be held on June 1, 2015 in Technopark “Idea”.

The Festival will bring together 22 teams from Kazan, Naberezhnye Chelny, Buinsk, Spassk, Verkhneuslonsky, Pestretsy, Arsk, Saby and Alexeevsk districts of Tatarstan.

The Festival is an interactive program for the younger generation, aimed at increasing interest in the field of high technology. The competition, organized by Technopark “Idea”, has been held since 2011. During this time it was attended by around 300 students.

The competition traditionally will be held on the four categories:

1. Racing on the line (in the shortest time a robot, by following the black line, should get from the starting point to the place of finish);
2. Sumo (participants are required to prepare an autonomous robot that can most effectively push the opponent’s robot beyond the black line of the ring);
3. Kegelring (in the shortest time a robot, without leaving more than 5 seconds of the circle, outlining the ring, should push pins arranged in it);
4. Creative category (there are estimated projects, collected through LEGO - microcomputer RCX or NXT, but unlike the major category in their design can be used not only LEGO parts, but also other materials).

Winners will receive diplomas, cups and valuable prizes, and all participants will be awarded with personal certificates.

The competition will start at 10.00 am.

The Festival will end at 03.30 pm.
