Welcome to the November 2013 BotsIQ Competition at Moraine Park’s AMTC

Welcome to our 19th BotsIQ Wisconsin

Competition. BotsIQ provides a platform to

allow students to discover their skills in a

competition using a combination of math,

science, electronics, mechanics, and

engineering in a team work environment. The

matches are scored using a number of criteria

which are explained in the Competition

Terminology section of this program.

Destructive product testing is performed many

times and in many ways on every product that

consumers buy to ensure the ultimate safety

and performance of that product. Likewise,

these matches are a form of destructive product

testing to ascertain the integrity of the design

and construction coupled with the usefulness

and ingenuity of each bot.

BotsIQ was formed to introduce students,

teachers, and parents to the career

opportunities available in high tech

manufacturing. Most of these career

opportunities are available with a two year or

less technical college degree followed by

apprenticeship and employment. As an

apprentice, you can earn while you learn on the

job. Whereas your typical college students are

borrowing through school loans to attend a four-

year university and then have to find a job upon

graduation.

While at the competition, take a look at the

various technical degrees available from area

technical colleges. There is a table set up with

information and staffed with people to answer

your questions. Many of the team mentors are

from area manufacturing companies that need

motivated job entrants that desire interesting

work in a meaningful and well paying career

loaded with benefits. Feel free to talk to them at

the competition or give them a call.

Enjoy the competition, and please check out

what the future may hold for you or your student

in high tech manufacturing.

We support the BotsIQ Program and their mission.

Good Luck, Competitors!

BotsIQ, An Educational Foundation For Advanced Manufacturing Careers. Vision

BotsIQ Wisconsin (BotsIQ) encourages young adults to create and explore, giving them an opportunity to problem solve using science, technology, engineering, mathematics, mechanics, computer-aided design, metal fabrication, physics and project management in a teamwork environment.

The BotsIQ challenge is to create and build a robot to outscore other robots. Students participate in competitive environments, with safety and operational limitations to test robotic designs. The excitement of competition gives the students an opportunity to utilize existing educational resources as well as explore learning opportunities not currently offered in a traditional educational structure. Teams take ownership of creating, building and maintaining their remote controlled robot.

Mission

BotsIQ’s goal is to introduce career opportunities by combining Apprenticeship with a Technical College degree which will lead to a fulfilling Advanced Manufacturing Career.

BotsIQ matches each team with a volunteer or sponsoring company as a coach and mentor. Mentors and Sponsors provide seminars and tours to demonstrate how technology has advanced traditional skill sets into higher educational opportunities.

BotsIQ endeavors to create awareness and enhance the educational foundation for Advanced Manufacturing by introducing young adults to the career opportunities associated with creating a vision, designing, budgeting, constructing, assembling, testing and maintenance of an automated robot.

Teams/Rules & Strategy

Judging & Scoring Basic Rules for 15lb Bots

Bots must weigh less than 15lbs & fit through

the Arena door

Bots can use pneumatics (compressed air)

Hydraulics (pressurized fluids) are not allowed

Guns, Explosives, Acids and Radio Jamming

devices are not permitted

Bots can be made from most materials

Organic materials such as food products are

not allowed

Harmful or dangerous materials such as

Uranium are not allowed

Matches are 3 minutes long

The goal of a Bot is to disable the other Bot before the end of the match. A 10 second countdown will be

started if a Bot does not show any movement. If the Bot does not move within this 10 second time frame, the match ends with a Technical Knock-Out.

A Driver may Tap-Out. A Tap-Out is usually done when a Bot is about to sustain considerable damage.

A Tap-Out will end the match with a loss but it may save the Bot for an upcoming match.

Strategy

3 Judges score the Bots. This

eliminates the possibility of tie.

Points are awarded for Control,

Aggression and Inflicting Damage

A Bot may win a match by a

Technical Knock-Out (disabling the other Bot) or by Decision (highest score)
