Do you lure to get a sneak peak in the spectacular cutting edge robots? Well, fasten your seat-belts because you are about to have the journey of your lifetime in the Future Robot Republic of Macedonia or abbreviated RoboMAC! LC Skopje is proud to announce that in collaboration with IEEE for the third time we are organizing the RoboMAC! It will take place from 19-th to 26-th of February in Skopje, with 30 international participants (EESTEC people) and over 70 students from our faculty... Yes you read that right!!! 30 EESTECers means this is the third biggest EESTEC event after EESTEC Congress and ECM. Now let us tell you a little bit about RoboMAC… RoboMAC means students creating scientific robots using off-the-shelf materials. What that means? That means that you will learn to build a robot that will do a specific job, with only the materials that you can buy in the local hardware store. Cool right !!! :D And at the end of the week in the biggest closed sport venture in Macedonia - our national arena you can start the thrilling competition and check out how good is your robot :D. Racing, sumo wrestling, programming an AI task oriented algorithms, or simply play “hide and seek” with your robots in a maze, and all that in front of lot of audience and the media. It means you will be a TV star that day in Macedonia. But that’s not creative enough ??? No problem !!! Use your creative mind and take the challenge to program a Humanoid that will be capable of doing some crazy stuff, like Macarena dance :D. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq1bkaMBp3w&feature=player_profilepage#t=156s You don’t know how to do this, but you want to learn? That’s why we have asked our professors from the robotics and AI (artificial intelligence) departments to teach you, and show you everything. Not ready to apply? But wait !!! We haven’t told you about the fun part !!! In Skopje we party only on New Year’s Eve and the days that end on “day”, like MonDAY, TuesDAY,…., SunDAY. And bear to forget to visit the local Kafanas. Also we promise to keep the tradition of organizing the glamorous wine night where you will be enjoying best wines in Macedonia! We also want to know more about your country, that’s why on the international party you will have the chance to introduce us to some of your local drinks and delicacies. Don’t worry we didn’t forget about giving you a tour throughout Skopje. You will be visiting: The Old Bazar http://tinyurl.com/6cfmyy6 The Biggest Cross in the world on the top of mount Vodno, where you will have a cup of coffee with the best view on Skopje http://tinyurl.com/66gyndu http://www.panoramio.com/photo/14942097 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/14942204 The biggest statue of Alexander the Great in the world and its fountain below (believe me the animation does not give it justice) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87DJ-LqYmHw As you get it, we like big stuff so become part of the big fat RoboMAC… …apply don't wait! -- Ivana Gjorgjieva ------------------------------------------------------------------- Student University Ss.

This is exactly what International Board was doing previous month along with a lot of work as well! During October, we had a lot of work to do starting from EU grant which was announced in September and we were working a lot on this and preparing everything to submit it next month. We had the EU BOM in Novi Sad, where we had the chance to work intensively in application, finalise texts and gather all of them in a consistent document! We would like to thank LC Novi Sad for being such great hosts and providing a great atmosphere for us to work! Meanwhile, we would like to thank Giannis Ntousakis (LC Athens) for representing EESTEC International in Autumn Meeting! Additionally, in September preparations of ECM were a lot more intense in order to ensure the best for all participants coming there, as well as for EESTEC progress. While ECM 2011 is approaching we can only promise one thing: This ECM is going to be unique and set very high standards for next EESTEC events. Ready? Not being limited to just 2 projects, during previous month, we worked a lot in other projects as well, bringing fresh ideas and projects in EESTEC! One of them is Android Competition, a competition organised for first time in EESTEC! Android is a rapidly developing and spreading technology and being aware of the abilities of our members, we decided to organise this competition! We want to encourage all of you to get involved ;) Apart form the above, this month was a great month, since a very big and promising project started :D This is mentoring project, and Int. Board has been working on that since SuBOM! Idea is to transfer knowledge among EESTECers easier and help younger (J)LC members of the network to take advantage of some technical knowledge we already have in other LC’s. Even if this month, was hard-working, November will be even more hard-working for Int. Board as well as for several of our project teams, and most significantly the month that we will have ECM ;) See you in Eskisehir! Greetings, Int.
