Unit 8 Racing Robots
M: I have been interested in robots for as long as
I can remember. The first thing I did when I
entered high school was join the Robotech
robot-making club. We get together after school
every day and create our own robots. Nowadays
it is very easy to find kits to build your own
robot and these are what we use.
The highlight of the year for us is the annual
Robot Maze race. Everyone who wants to take
part has to make a small computer-controlled
robot. You need to race it to the center of a
maze. We work together in teams of three or
four. This year, I am working with two students
who won last year’s competition, so I think we
have a really good chance of winning.
Our robot is about 30 centimeters high. It
weighs two kilograms. It should be really quick.
We have been practicing often, and we have
already equaled last year’s speed, so we just need
to get a little faster. We are keeping the design of
our robot secret. If we win, we will get $500. I
hope this will be my lucky year.
