Mentors From Industry
Last year’s robot, named “Spleee”, had the capacity to hang clothes on a clothesline. The title was “Torobotics Laundry Quandary.” Spleee earned points by taking down laundry and placing it in a basket. Speed, maneuverability, traction, type of chassis, wiring and weight all came in to play in the design process. This year’s robot has been named “Spleee II.” A detailed engineering notebook complete with diagrams, notes and designs is also required. In addition, students can also do an oral presentation and table display.
Mentors from industry and academic coaches will assist, but students make the ultimate decisions for their robots. John Fowler, a licensed professional engineer, is one of this year’s mentors. Fowler said he is happy to support the youth in this way. Some members of last year’s team are also mentoring this year’s group by showing them how to use different tools. Thomas hopes the excitement about the BEST program will continue to grow and that middle schools and more high schools will participate.
We promise to give you an honest review of different article submission software. We find using such tools very inexpensive and time-efficient considering it takes tremendous effort, and energies to submit to each article directory manually.
