News
~Jan 17, 2010. If you're reading this I'm going to assume you just saw us at SPECTRUM 2010. Wasn't it great?!! That may well have been our most entertaining event to date!
In an attempt to read your mind and answer some questions:
-No, we do not yet have a next event scheduled. If you know of a venue, have them contact us!
-DVDs will be available of this event (price unknown) and are available for past Kilobots events for $5 each.
-I will update the winners page soon. For now I would like to thank this event's sponsors: Spectrum, Big Blue Saw, Solarbotics, and Saskatoon Machine Works.
-We are now planning to hold monthly meetings. If you would like to attend, please send us an email.
If I missed anything, just ask and I will probably add the answer to this website.
~Dec 10, 2009. We have just picked up a new sponsor! Big Blue Saw has donated $160 in free machining (water jet cutting and laser cutting) to Kilobots XVI (SPECTRUM 2010).
~September 6, 2009. Kilobots XV (held at the Saskatoon Fireworks Festival) was a blast! There were hundreds of kids and parents who enjoyed watching the combat tournament and testing their driving skills on the Viper kits in a fast-paced 2-on-2 soccer game. The fireworks were spectacular and made for a good finish to both nights.
If you are curious how to get a Viper robot kit of your own, send an email to FingerTech Robotics. They helped us design these kits for new builders and now make them available in their online store.
~April 24, 2009. The SCRC along with the UofS IEEE Robotics Club has hosted its second Robotics Demonstation, this time at Winston High School, in Watrous, SK. Four stations were running, showing the inner workings of both combat and sumo robots, plus running live destructive demos in the combat arena and letting kids drive RC Sumo Kits in the sumo ring versus fully autonomous sumo's.
