Title: Upcoming Robotics Conference
Post by: TerryG on May 12, 2009, 03:31:37 PM

I want to let you know about an upcoming Global Conference on Educational Robotics,
GCER, in Leesburg, (Washington D.C. area) July 1-5.  It includes the annual Botball
Tournament which is free and open to the public.
A quick introduction to the tournaments was just published on Youtube by Tech Closeup:
Tech Closeup: Botball Competition 2009 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEhGdgER1EY&feature=channel_page#ws-lq-lq2-hq-vhq) which shows the
Northern California Tournament.
