The teams traveled to Tokyo, Japan to compete in the Robot Grand Prix. While in Tokyo, we toured many robotics labs primarily at the campuses of the University of Tokyo. We also visited Tsukba Science City and many labortories there. The contest itself was held in the Tokyo International Forum, right next door to the Imperial Palace. Lancelot scores some points.
Students recieve the prizes.
Many of the students had never traveled outside of the country before. Here is a photo of the student's favorite sushi chef. We did not share a common language but did share an appreciation for hot food. Some aspects of the course were pre-packaged so the students could focus on the important issues. An amplifier card was supplied with four h-bridge amplifiers with 5 amp capacity.
