I don't know if u've ever heard of ABU robocon contest before. It's an international competition for the member countries Asia Broadcasting Union (ABU). It includes Japan, China, Korea, Egypt, Vietnam, Malaysia....etc
Each year a country hosts the event but before the international event there's a local competition in each country to choose the team representing your country. The competition includes a manual robot and several automatic robots and there's a specific task to do. Ur limited within a specific weight and a specific dimension.
The following link http://gymkhana.iitb.ac.in/~umic/vid...robocon2k5.wmv
gives u an idea how the international competition was fierce last year. U'll see the fastest extensions u have ever seen in ur life.
By the way I forgot to introduce myself. I am a student at the Electronics and Communications department, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University. Glad to meet u all

I read the rules and FAQ for ABU Robocon. It seems like an exciting competition. You and your team at Cairo University will probably be very busy until the first week of July, preparing for your national competition. Good luck with that.
Will the winner of your national competition get to represent Egypt at the September event in Kuala Lumpur? How many teams will be competing in your national event?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
