Name: 4 Elements
Prize: Robotics related item worth at least $50


Description: 4 Elements is a race against the clock through which one will have to build an autonomous robot to self navigate through the maze traversing the 4 elements found here on earth.

  • The maze walls will be painted white with the floor some other dark color.
  • The maze outside size is 4′ X 4′ with a 11.5″ X 11.5″ path width.
  • Random theme related objects should be expected, and will be smaller than 2″ tall, which each bot will be expected to traverse.
  • The race official will count down 3, 2, 1, go!!!
  • Your bot will then be switched on, and it will begin to progress through the maze.
  • The race official will start the stopwatch when he says “go”.
  • Your lap time will stop, when your bot reaches the finish line which will be painted on the maze walls and floor.
  • The max bot size will be our clubs “Maze” standard 11″ X 11″ with an unlimited height. Any robot weight is allowed.
  • Each bot will be allowed 3 runs through the maze.
  • The running order will be determined randomly.
  • All entries will run 1 lap through the maze before ANY entry will be allowed to run its second lap.
  • All entries will get a maximum of 2 minutes if they are not ready when called. If they are not ready after 2 minutes of time. They will receive a DNF for that run.

Join us June 21st, 2008 for our monthly meeting. Our meetings start at 10:00am and last until 1:00pm, although we usually adjourn a bit early to have a Chinese buffet. Everyone is welcome to attend…if you are curious about robotics please stop by. Bring your current project, in any state of completion, for show and tell or to ask for help. Our members come from a wide range of professions and are more than willing to lend a hand.


This month’s mini comp is “4 Elements”. Your bot will have to navigate a simple maze and will be challenged to traverse maze sections based on “Wind”, “Water”, “Earth”, and “Fire”! If your bot gets a little wet or has a scorch mark or two, don’t worry, the top finisher will receive a robotics related prize worth at least $50.00.

As many of you that attend the FNBS know, Jerry will be packing up his shop and moving in the near future. Let’s give our “Presidente” a helping hand by showing up to assist him in boxing up his shop in preparation for the big move. Nick has kindly donated U-Haul boxes and tape, so what is needed now are strong backs and weak minds! If you have ever been over to the shop for a FNBS or have had Jerry laser cut something for you, please come on over this Friday, April 11th. We will meet again if needed after this month’s ROBOMO meeting on April 19th.
