STEMRobotics:Current events
From STEMRobotics
Nearby Events, Coming Soon
STEMRobotics sponsors and organizes events in South Eastern Pennsylvania (draw a 50 mile circle around Newtown Square PA). In additon, we attend and help out at events that are no more than a two hour drive. This is a list of events in our area.
We have recently formed a NEW elite group, the TechnoMages. This group travels with Steve Rhoads, and volunteers to be the Software Inspection and Programming Assistance team at an event (scrimmage, tournament, workshop and seminar). We travel throughout the PA, NJ, DE, MD area. We may consider reaching up to NY and over to RI and MA.
Currently our super-powers are around RobotC and easyC. MPLab will have to find another set of Super Heroes to support it.
01/09/2009 - FRC Kick-off
Upper Darby High School
01/09/2010 - Vex @ Summit HS, NJ
Steve Rhoads will be going to this event. Some of the TechnoMages may also go (details to follow).
We will support software inspection, followed by software assistance (focusing on RobotC) and supporting EasyC as required.
We will also bring a VEXnet practice switch and a robot with VEXnet, and do some walkthroughs of VEXnet and the standard competition template, the autonomous skills challenge and the driving skills challenge template.
Come join the fun!

Steve is going to be the RobotC/Software Inspection and programming support person! If you know RobotC come be a TechnoMage with Steve. You will be able to say that you support multiple platforms!
