Wednesday, 7 September 2011
As nations gather in New Zealand to face off on the rugby field, students are preparing for a battle of the bots.
A team of Massey University robotics world champions will feature in the first ever Robotics World Cup, due to kick off in Auckland during the Rugby World Cup.
From October 11-13 teams from Australia, New Zealand, USA, Mexico, Colombia and others will compete in a competitive robotics game. The event is being organised by the New Zealand Information and Technologies Group and Kiwibots New Zealand, which runs Vex Robotics competitions in schools.
Using the Vex Robotics World Championship game model, the Robotics World Cup will involve teams designing, building and maintaining robots that compete in a game of speed, strategy, skill and adrenalin. The recent world championships in Florida drew more than 10,000 intermediate, high school and university participants representing 16 countries, including several New Zealand school teams.
