This is going to be a very busy year for robotics in Memphis:
First Lego League (for students ages 9-14) just announced their competition for the year. This year’s theme is “Senior Solutions“. I know their are many teams forming in the Memphis Area, especially since we now have a competition in Memphis. The competition will take place at the University of Memphis on Dec 8, 2012. For more info on the event goto: . If you are interested in starting a team contact Frank Niedzwiedz at FrankN@rnsystemsdesign.com.
First Tech Challenge‘s kick off is this Saturday. The closest kick off event is hosted by the University of Mississippi. As far as I know, this is the first year Memphis has teams competing in FTC.
As for First Robotics Competition (FRC), there might be as many as 11 teams in Memphis this year. The University of Memphis will again host a Kick Off Event and other activities associated with FRC. For more info please see: http://memphisfirstteams.org/.
Still looking for teams in Memphis that will be competing in B.E.S.T. this year (so if you know of a team, please let me know).
