January 29, 2004 - The
T-shirt design contests will be will be held during the meeting
on February 26, 2004.
If your students would
like to participate in the 2004 tee-shirt design activity and have
the chance to have their design concept chosen for the 2004 tee-shirt
(front of the shirt) for Robotics Park the guiding criteria are
given below.
1. Up to 4 colors maybe
applied to the design.
2. Submit the design,
including a slogan, on an 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper at (or before)
the February 26th meeting or received by postal mail to Denis by
February 25th. These will reviewed at the February meeting and a
final design and/or designs will be selected.
3. Try to capture the
(educational) spirit and flavor of the event in the logo and slogan
of your designs. The theme this year is 'Follow the Yellow Brick
Road.'
4. The tee-shirt's color
for 2004 will be decided after the final design is chosen.
5. Keep in mind that
ideas from more than one submission may be chosen and combined into
one for a final design. For instance, we could take the slogan from
one design and the graphic of another and combine them.
6. Make sure students
understand that all design concepts will be rendered by a professional
on a computer to make them appropriate for screen-printing. It is
the concept that we are looking for in their design
7. Thanks in advance
to all those creative thinkers and doers that plan to contribute
to this design activity. Let me encourage all of you to get the
gears meshing as we begin to prepare for Robotics Park 2004!

Toy Design Challenge in the "Remarkable Robots" category

We expect to have 53
"booths" available for displays and space for a number
of Chain Reaction machines. The "site map" will be posted
on the Robotics Park registration page
in the near future.
Each booth will measure
approximately 10' x 10' square. Some of the booth sites have a large
column on their perimeter so be flexible with yourset-up. This year
you may choose to have up to 2 tables, either 5' or 6' long, or
one of each, at your booth. There is a 7' height restriction on
the displays. You can count on having at least a single electrical
plug for your booth. You should plan on bringing an extension cord
and a "power strip" if you need multiple outlets.
Chain Reaction Machines
can select two size table set-ups of either 3 foot or 5 foot in
length with a width of 30 inches. More detailed Chain Reaction information
will be posted soon. Also remember the height restrictions from
the floor of 7 feet.
Set-up will take place
on "Robotics Morning", Saturday April 3, 2004. There will
be no set-up on Friday night this year, please plan accordingly.
We will continue to distribute
facilities information here and via the email list as it is confirmed.

of the nations largest science competitions. The event will be

- Over 40 teams, representing
25 school teams throughout New England will participate. This
year's challenge is called "Mission Mars" which coincides
with NASA's current exploration of MARS, gives middle school students
the chance to experience a futuristic visit to the Red Planet
and explore the Martian landscape with visions of colonization.
Each team will enter it's own uniquely designed and programmed
robot to complete various tasks which are determined by the League
prior to competition. In addition to developing cutting edge technology
skills in school age children, the competitions are designed to
"inspire children around the world to work together, use
their creativity and engage in real world problems," according
to the League.
