"The most instigating area of knowledge for the curious, robotics, have significant presence at Globaltech. Two gaucho (1) robots represent the state in the central arena. The projects Buddy IV, from Província de São Pedro High School, and the TechTchê, from Senai Mecatronics, will show the reason why they are so good at the competitions.

Both robots participated at the 15th edition of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), in USA. Buddy IV ranked second place, while the TechTchê ranked sixth and won the Rookie All-Star award. The administrative principal, Guilherme Peretti, says that the investment in robotics - the school participated in six FRC events - makes dividends not only to the ones involved with the project, but to all students.

"Since first grade we have a discipline called Introduction to Robotics. It's a subject that inspires all and raises interest for the exact sciences. The little ones always asks me when they will do their own robots." Quotes Peretti.

What will happen at Globaltech.

FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION
The competition challenges the teams and their mentors to solve a problem in a predetermined time, in which all participants use the same standarized parts and follow the same rules. Teams from United States of America and Brazil will be attending the event.

FIRST LEGO LEAGUE
It's a national program for students from 10 to 15 years old, that combines practical and environment-interactive robotics in a sportive atmosphere. The teams must build a robot fully autonomous capable of doing several missions.
In Globaltech, there'll be a official Southern Regional competition, using the theme No Limits. The teams will have to find ways to help physically challenged people.

SOCCER OF ROBOTS
Featuring robots from Vienna, Sao Paulo and UFRGS (2), it's a competition of high technology robots in a confined space. The researchers disputes using mobile robotics systems. The purpose is to better understand the scientific concepts and the technological development.
