I just got back from judging a Robotics Competition here on campus. The NM BEST competition draws mid and high school students from all over the state and Texas and compete against each other using robots they designed and built. Its amazing what some of the youth of today can accomplish. i was in MESA, AISES and Supercomputing Challenge and they didnt live up to this. The robots are supposed to move balloons from a small PVC pipe enclosure and put it into their own corral, and not only do they have the competiton to work on, there are also points in Spirit, Sportsmanship, an informal interview and evaluation at their booth and a formal presentatin of their project and an overview of it. I wish I would have know about this several years ago when I was in High School. It would have been so cool.
