RoboRAVE is a growing Robotics education program to teach teachers and students how to design, build, program and test robots to perform a variety of tasks. It is also a competition for teams of kids, ages to 8 to adults, to test their design in one or more RoboRAVE Challenges. Kids have the choice to use any hardware and software.
RoboRAVE focus on STEM education.
Here kids learn to use what they have learned in Science (mass, velocity, forces, friction etc) along with Maths (Variables, functions, formulas etc.) to develop Engineering skills (design, materials, systems) using Technology (programs, sensors, computers) in order to get the best results. Learning is fun. It is sharing of information and above all teamwork.
“ROBORAVE HAS CREATED THE FOLLOWING VALUES – THAT FORMS THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS”
1. COMMUNITY > COMPETITION
2. SHARING > WINNING
3. TEAMWORK > INDIVIDUALS
Kids have to build robots in order to perform tasks in a stipulated time (3 minutes). Kids need to build and use autonomous robots, so they become familiar with the mechanical parts, electronic boards and software programs.
One of the challenges is Robotovate – Entrepreneurial challenge. Here kids present their idea and develop the idea into wonderful products.
Kids compete in their own divisions in challenges like Line Following and A-Maze-ing.
1. Elementary School – 3 to 5 Grades
2. Middle School – 6-8 grades
3. High School – 9 to 12 Grades
4. Big kids – College & Above
Fire Fighting and Robotovate are open challenges. Everyone plays in One division. Robot Performance and Team Presentation performance are graded separately.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Now for the first time, we are organizing RoboRAVE in India. This year we have Kochi, Kerala as the venue. The competition is coming up during 5th & 6th November 2016.
It is a two-day event. Kids can practice and tune their robots on actual challenge tracks on the first day. They can conduct demos and score bonus runs while the second day is the actual competition.
In order to participate this year, Schools can register online on http://www.roboraveindia.org
First they have to register their coach and then their team.
