WSU LEGO Mindstorms Challenge 2005: SUPERBOTS

The WSU MINDSTORMS Challenge encourages interteam and intrateam cooperation and support and student participation from each team member. Each student should contribute to the team individually but does not necessarily need to be involved in all aspects of the challenge. Coach and parent support is encouraged and necessary, but it is important that all adults let students do their own work. Each team member will receive a name badge and be required to clearly display this at all times during the Mindstorms Challenge day. Roving judges will be watching sportsmanship conduct and spirit throughout the day (9:00am - 4:00pm) at the missions, work tables, lounge areas, etc.

Spirit/ Sportsmanship Award (1 Award): One award is given to the team that earns the most points in the Sportsmanship/Spirit Challenge. Apprentice level and Professional level teams will all compete for this one award together.

Apprentice Level Note: Points from Spirit & Sportsmanship apply toward the overall RCX Awards in the Apprentice Level.

Professional Level Note: Points from Spirit & Sportsmanship apply toward the overall MINDSTORMS Awards in the Professional Level.
