Hi guys,

This is the tentative team arrangements as of this weekend. Of course, things might change once I get to see your improved programs on Monday. In case you have not already heard, there will be a meeting on Monday for all confirmed members as well as those who want a second shot for the three slots left. For those who need the software to improve on their programs at home before coming to school on Monday to test, please inform me via kc.riicc@gmail.com. For those who are on the team, please try to bring along a Math set as you guys are going to be practising some drawing on Monday. Also, if you prefer to have the CD to install the software, please bring your laptops along. For those on the team, it is recommended that you do so as you cannot live with the school laptop for the entire duration of the holidays, much less the competition.

Thanks,
Kenneth

[Announcement] Robocup Selection

Hi Guys,

The selection for the most prestigious competition in robotics is up again and we will be selecting the best builders, programmers, logicians and others with general talents we find useful.

With such a huge pool of talent, it is difficult to select the best guys to represent our school and perhaps our country. As such we exposed those who wanted to learn more about the competition during the camp. However, those who did not attend will still be able to attain a manual of all that was taught in the camp by emailing me at kc.riicc@gmail.com. Those who have attended the camp but still want some notes to reinforce your memory, please also contact the above email address asking for the materials.

A truly good robotician can not only build and program but also come up with new ideas to ensure that we stay ahead of the competition. As such, all who are interested in being part of the team next year, please come up with a new algorithm that will improve our chances of winning. The format of submission is as follows:

1) Reason for implementation (Current algo too slow? Better accuracy? Lacking in this year''s program?)

2) Logic

3) Possible Problems

4) Pseudo-code

If you think that a current subroutine is inadequate, you could also improve on it. It does not matter if it is a big change as any change can make a difference. Please send this to kc.riicc@gmail.com

Here is the tentative team arrangement:

Category A Lightweight: Kenneth Chow, Vishnu R Menon, Slot 1, Slot 2

Category A Open: Kenneth Chow, Huang Ze Fan, Shen Chen, Slot 3

Category B Open: Kenneth Chow, Tan Wei Ren, Shen Chen, Slot 4, Slot 5

As you can see, there are currently 5 slots available and we could even be opening 1 more slot per team should we have too much talent.\n\nIn conclusion, we would like to check out your skills as soon as possible so that we can start working. Do note that you will be overworked and underpaid (Up to 84 hours a week, paid $0.00 [any currency will do])

Thanks,

Kenneth Chow
