Tom Atwood of Robot Magazine writes with an update on the Grant Imahara VEXplorer
Robot Challenge, "25 robot enthusiasts are competing for a
first-place $5,000 scholarship on YouTube, and the videos that are the
contest entries can be viewed at the VEX Robotics
VEXplorer Challenge webpage. Second prize is a $2,000 scholarship,
and Innovation First will give $200 gift certificates to 10 additional
winners in this competition to produce a creative, different cool
application using only VEXplorer kit parts and any other components that
were made available to contestants via a $100 credit at
www.vexrobotics.com. Use of SolidWorks in the project (a student license
is included in the VEXplorer package) and good videography strengthens a
contestants score when entries are judged. Mythbuster Grant Imahara is
the contest judge. The contest is sponsored by Revell, Innovation First,
SolidWorks and Robot magazine. Winners will be announced in the
September-October issue of Robot, available in July.". For more, see
