VEX Robotics Essay Challenge

Opens: Fri, Sep 21, 2012 12:00 AM CDT
Closes: Fri, Jan 11, 2013 2:00 PM CST
This challenge is to write a short essay on what exactly VEX Robotics means to you. Tell the judges your own story of your involvement on a competition team, in a classroom, or as a hobbyist working with VEX. Perhaps VEX robotics has made you rethink your career plans, or made you want to study engineering in college, or helped you understand physics better. Maybe you have a friend or family member who learned something valuable from their VEX experience. However VEX Robotics has improved your understanding, inspired you to try something you didn't know you could do, or even changed the...

FUTURE Foundation Sustainable Design Robot Construction Challenge

Opens: Fri, Sep 21, 2012 12:00 AM CDT
Closes: Fri, Jan 11, 2013 2:00 PM CST

The FUTURE Foundation exists to advance robotics and technology through education.

With the Autodesk Sustainability Workshop as inspiration, build a VEX robot or robotically-controlled machine that achieves one or more sustainability goals. You may construct either a full-size VEX robot or a VEX model of a larger machine.

Sustainability is about using engineering and science to reduce human environmental impact. This can mean producing renewable energy, using less energy, replacing high-environmental-impact materials with low-impact alternatives, recycling, reusing, and...

Autodesk Sustainable Design Challenge

Opens: Fri, Sep 21, 2012 12:00 AM CDT
Closes: Fri, Jan 11, 2013 2:00 PM CST

The Autodesk Sustainable Design Challenge is an online, skill-based challenge being run by the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation (RECF).

Sustainability is about using engineering and science to reduce human environmental impact. This can mean producing renewable energy, using less energy, replacing high-environmental-impact materials with low-impact alternatives, recycling, reusing, and designing upgradeable products that can meet future needs without having to be replaced.
