Time: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Cost: $165 (Inc. GST)

3…2…1…FIGHT!
Take Robot Sumo to all-new levels! Students will create Robot Sumo warriors of advanced intelligence and function, and then battle against each other in a full-scale competition. In this event, humans play a vital role – from anticipating an opponent’s actions to directly pitting human against machine, with human operators directly controlling their creation against autonomous opponents.
This workshop is designed for students already familiar with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® – or novices able to cope with a steep learning curve! While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult. Enquire if you would like more information.

Workshop #5: FLL Experience (Ulladulla High School)
Date: 5-6th October (Thurs-Fri)
Time: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Cost: $165 (Inc. GST)
Location: Ulladulla High School
This is a course designed for active FLL teams as well as those that just want to get a taste of the FIRST LEGO League! It is designed for those with some existing MINDSTORMS® experience, but is suitable for all skill levels. Under the guidance of the Project Bucephalus team members, students will design, build and program robots to attempt the challenges of Hydro Dynamics. The workshop will include opportunities for teams to work on Project or Core Values as they desire. While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult. This course is suitable for both NXT® and EV3®.
Note: We are trying to make this course affordable for FLL teams. The usual 30% discount for students using their own laptops and robot kits is available, but the 2-person-per-robot limit will apply. Coach(es) of active FLL teams can attend without charge. We also ask that the Robo Camp instructors are briefed on a team’s existing progress at the start of the workshop!
FLL Teams may be asked to share their field kit and/or FLL table to make sure we can maximise development time! Teams will be refunded 10% of their booking fee in this case.
