Title: VEX Robotics World Championship Report
Post by: Tyler on May 05, 2009, 11:00:02 pm
VEX Robotics World Championship Report
     



It all started when Tom Atwood of Robot Magazine asked me to attend
the VEX Robotics
World Championship to shoot photos of the more than 270
teams from around the world competing in the event. Before I even knew
what happened, I found myself enlisted as one of the judges for the
event. Judging the small contests held by local robot groups can be a
lot of work but it pales in comparison to the efforts needed for
something like the VEX championship. Read on for the full story.

Tyler,
I know you mainly keep track of robotics and stuff but I have a news service that you might
be interested in, I got the equivalent of the UK service, a little different but pretty close to first base info.
This IS a news space on the message board so here is a sample of what I follow and what's going on
over across the pond.
have a nice day and keep up the good work.

Good link.  If you are interested in UK news then check out the 'home' page - http://aidreams.co.uk/forum/index.php - scroll down a bit and you will see the BBC Technology thread, infact that story you posted appears there too.  There's also the 'News feeds' section in the left hand panel, just under the 'Gallery Latest', if you hadn't spotted it.
