Dear EESTECers,
Would you like to get out of your daily routine and try something new?
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.

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

Monthly report- October
Dear EESTECers,
As autumn is a nice period to hang out with friends, you should also
reserve some time for your EESTEC family! 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!
