Dear teachers,

This coming Saturday (9th November), NIS is hosting our first ever VEXV5 Robotics Competition.

To ensure that the hosting of this event runs smoothly, there are a lot of small jobs that need to happen on the Saturday, so I am reaching out to see if you could volunteer some time to assist.

Activities that we will need assistance with include;

  • Robot Check-in: Making sure robots have their correct colour license plate on before each match
  • Pit Monitor:  Making sure teams head to match check-in ready for their match
  • Field Setup: Checking students reset the field correctly after each match

None of these activities require any knowledge of robotics.  If you are able to volunteer a few hours of your time on Saturday, please let me know.

I will be running an information session on Friday for anybody who is interested and able to assist, where I will be showing people exactly what each activity involves.  If you cannot make it to that information session, I will also be able to show you what is involved on the Saturday morning. None of the activities are very complicated.

Cheers.  Ken and the Robotics Team
