The Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
     

Tom Atwood of Robot Magazine wrote
to tell us about the upcoming  Grant Imahara
VEXplorer Robot Challenge. Yes, that's the Grant Imahara of Mythbusters.
"Students age 14 and up can apply to be one of 25 contestants who
will receive free VEXplorer kits for
use in the contest. The object is to create an interesting, unique
application using just the components that come in the kit. Contest
rules require posting of entries on YouTube. The top winner will receive
a $5,000 scholarship fund, 2nd place a $2,000 scholarship, and (10)
runner-ups will get $200 gift certificates to vexlabs.com. Any who wish
to enter will first need to email a short description of their design
concept—Grant Imahara and Robot magazine will pick the 25 contestants
from these applications by March 24, and the winners will be picked by
Grant Imahara himself in early June—they will be announced in the
September-August 2008 issue of Robot magazine."
