Welcome to the '''[http://www.robojackets.org/ Robojackets]''' Battle Bots wiki!

==Description==
"The box is locked, The lights are on, It's robot fighting time!" That annoucement signals a rush of adrenaline to shurge through the veins of two competitors like nitrous oxide shot into the cylinders of a big block V8. These competitors fight, at times, to the death; but not with each other, instead, with their robots. I'm not talking about your ordinary R2D2, but creations from hell that make even the strongest man squeal like a pig.


The world of robotic combat is a lot more than just engineering a r/c unit. It's an art, where people (men, women, doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc.) take their deepest fears, desires and dreams, and mold it into a Battlebot. A creation that everyone fears, and yet at the same time everyone loves. These beasts are the future athletes of the world, in the sport the robotic combat.


Battlebots is an online competition in which two robots fight gladiator style, at times, to the death. The robots are limited to weight and weapon type. The classes range from 50 gram robots to 340 pounds.


==Announcements==
none

==Schedule==

We are building two 80 lb bases for testing and competition use. We plan to have both bases completed during the fall semester. Different types of weapons and defensive systems will be designed and implemented during the spring semester.

2006 TE Sessions

2008-02-03T21:42:50Z

JeffreyE: Adding to TE sessions category

{{Category: TE Sessions}}

'''FIRST Technology Enrichment Sessions 2006'''

The TE sessions for this year will be once a week and 3 hours long. However, this year the sessions will have the lecturing distributed throughout each session such that there should not be more than 20 mins of lecturing at a time. We will be attempting to use more hands on activities to allow students to gain a clearer understanding of the engineering concepts. The mechanical sessions will be based entirely on Vex kits. As in the past two years, we will be holding a basic TE session

Welcome to the '''[http://www.gatech.edu/ Georgia Tech]''' '''[http://www.robojackets.org/ Robojackets]''' '''[http://www.usfirst.org/ FIRST]''' wiki!

==Description==
The RoboJackets FIRST program is the primary component of our outreach program. This team mentors high school students in the areas of science and technology especially pertaining to robotics. This is done through two major activities.

In the fall semester, we host technology enrichment sessions, which are lecture/lab style activities open to any teams interested in coming. These TE sessions are designed to teach high school students (and sometimes their mentors), the basic engineering knowledge that is necessary for designing, building, and programming robots. The other aspect of the FIRST team is the direct sponsorship and mentoring of Tech High School located in Atlanta, Georgia.

In January of every year, FIRST releases a set of rules for a game that teams up high school teams and their sponsors against each other. We help the students design, build, and program a robot every spring semester to compete in each year's game.
