All,
Another Friday during FRC build season, another AndyMark contest arrives. Now that we have some prototypes finished and robots starting to drive around, it’s time for debug to begin. With robot debug comes robot breakages. This isn’t a bad thing, as robots tend to break.
The earlier teams break their 'bot, the earlier they get fixed and teams learn the correct design for the broken mechanism.
So, let’s celebrate robots breaking!
AndyMark is happy to announce the “Break Yo’ Bot” contest](http://www.andymark.com/category-s/433.htm).
Deadline: Bag Day (Tuesday, Feb. 21st, 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time)
Rules:
- Enter by making a video describing how you broke your robot and learned how to fix it. Include your team identification and team’s celebration of this breakage. Upload this video to a public cloud service, for all to see (Youtube, etc.).
- Time limit is 3 minutes.
- Keep it rated G.
- Entries will be judged on creativity and effective technical lessons learned.
- Winner will receive a $250 AndyMark gift certificate, along with a broken trophy with some duct tape.
- Safe robot operating practices must be shown in the video.
- Enter by emailing “contest - at - andymark.com” or by Tweeting @andymarkinc.
Have fun, be safe!
Sincerely,
Andy B.
