2005-2006 Robot Team

Who

Anyone who attended GigaDivas Summer Camp (in any year) and was 14 or younger on January 1, 2005 is eligible to be on the 2005-2006 GigaDivas Robot Team.

What

We will be working on the FIRST Lego League 2005 Challenge: Ocean Odessey. There will be robot challenges and a research project to be presented at one or more tournaments. We hope to compete at the First State FIRST Lego League Tournament at the University of Delaware.

To get started on the research project, check out Dive and Discover.

The details of the FIRST Lego League Challenge will be released on September 12th. Check the FIRST Lego League site again that day.

Where and When

We will begin meeting once a week in September and October, usually from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Saturday. As we get closer to tournaments, we will probably meet twice a week some weeks. FIRST suggests meeting two or three times per week for two to three hours per meeting. Since we will be meeting less often, some work (especially on the research project) will need to be done outside of our meetings.

Cost

There is no cost to join the team. Wilkes and GigaDivas have paid for the registrations and the equipment. There will be some cost associated with attending tournaments.
