BEST IN SHOW - ROBO DOGS
Teams build, program and decorate a robotic dog. The dog has to parade ( robotically, without human assistance) along a walk-way 1m wide by 5 m long , up and back and stop ( white and black tape border to walk-way). Their doggy robot must exhibit some “doggy” behavior eg - tail wagging, leg lifting, ears up, barking, etc- is up to the kids and it must look and behave like a dog as much as possible.
The team leader will introduce their team members and pup and describe its’ breed, skills and temperament and set it along its’ way on the run-way. The teams’ posters will also be on display for other teams to view
PRE DAY TEAM PREPARATION - In preparation and by way of planning, the students must give their team and dog a name and create posters of MY DOG: their robotic pup, why it's the best in show, it’s breed features and robotic features should be on the poster. Posters will be displayed on the day for other teams to admire
