From cbatten at cag.csail.mit.edu Tue Oct 26 21:14:00 2004 From: cbatten at cag.csail.mit.edu (Chris Batten) Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 21:14:00 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Maslab-announce] Maslab IAP Robotics Contest - Registration closes this Friday! Message-ID: Maslab (6.186) is an advanced autonomous robotics contest held during IAP. Similar in some ways to 6.270, we use more sophisticated equipment (including a 500MHz single board computer and camera) and tackle a more difficult problem. There are few restrictions on materials, sensors, and actuators enabling students to build very creative robots. Teams should have 3-4 members and be able to devote the bulk of IAP to working on their robot. All MIT students are welcome, including undergraduate and graduate students. The only prerequisite is that the majority of your team should have some basic programming experience. Each team's robot will participate in a friendly competition on January 28th and after the contest, teams are free to keep their robots. Much more information is available on our website: http://maslab.lcs.mit.edu Registration ends Friday October 29th, and you can register online at the website above. Registered students earn 6 units (P/F) plus 6 EDPs.

This is one of two announcements you will receive this year. The second announcement will provide details on the competition in late January.
