This Saturday 29 November 2014, high school robotics teams across Melbourne, New South Wales and Canberra will meet to compete in the Vex Robotics Competition Skyrise Challenge 2014- 2015. This event is organized by Robotics Club Australia.
The action-packed tournament will feature teams who will compete with and against other schools in a series of back-to-back robot challenges, made possible by the following sponsor AUTODESK. Participants will compete for the championship title by strategically executing the game SKYRISE, driving robots they designed, built and programmed from the ground up using the VEX Robotics Design System.
“The technological economy of the future depends on equipping Australian youth with the tools necessary to become tomorrow’s leading innovators,” said Gary G, Founder of Robotics Club Australia. “This tournament provides kids with an engaging hands-on learning experience that promotes a passion for science and technology – instilling in them an appreciation for the field and an enthusiasm to pursue STEM-related education and careers."
