Ulkkarisauna
by Henri Haukkovaara 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Huomenna klo 19 alkaen OK20 pienellä puolella on ulkkarisauna, eli siis ulkkareille suunnattu saunailta. Olisi kuitenkin hauskaa, että paikalla olisi myös paikallisia opiskelijoita, joten tulkaa käymään ja ottakaa kaverinne mukaan. Loistomahdollisuus tutustua uusiin hienoihin tyyppeihin ja parantaa vaikka kielitaitoa samalla. -- Henri Haukkovaara Teknillisen Korkeakoulun Sähköinsinöörikilta ry +358505180762 Ulkomestari 2008 henri.haukkovaara(a)tkk.fi

The target group of Robotex are students of technical fields and technology enthusiasts. The goal is to give them experience in developing and building mechatronical systems, interdisciplinary projects and to promote teamwork. A wider goal is to popularize information technology and technical education among the youth. What makes Robotex unique compared to other robotics competitions is that every year, the task the robots have to perform is different. For example, some of the assignments of previous years have included climbing a vertical rope; playing volleyball; flipping cans; marking mines etc. Robotex 2008 The event will take place on the 5th of December in the campus of the Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia. The event can also be observed in real time online on www.video.ttu.ee The total contest prize fund is over 6000 euros! The task of Robotex 2008 is called Room Cleaning, in which the objective is to collect items (socks and empty cans) from a rectangular field and move them to the specified drop-off areas. The fully autonomous robot must orientate on the field, avoiding obstacles and be able to distinguish different objects. The time limit for this task is 3 minutes. All information about the event and the rules are available on the official website: www.robotex.ee Who can participate The competition is team-based. The number of members in a team is limited to 5.

ECM (EESTEC Chairpersons' Meeting) Guide kaipaa kansikuvaa. Osallistu kilpailuun ja voita yllätyspalkinto! Deadline 15.10.2008, lisätietoja alla. ------ The Competition for the ECM Guide Cover has started so it's time that you think of a design for the Guide Cover.

Beside the source files, you have to send your work in PDF/TIFF format, 300dpi resolution, both color and grayscale versions. The deadline is on October 15th. If you have any questions ask Steven, Elena or me. Good luck ! PS: There will be a secret prize involved, given at the Congress ! Elena Manceva <elenceee(a)gmail.com>
