The WRO season is here once again! In order to aid in your preparation for WRO, Robo Academy is now selling playfield replicas for all 3 divisions (primary, secondary, tertiary) for the regular category of WRO 2013. Lead time upon ordering will be 2 to 6 weeks from confirmation of order. (All playfields will go through stringent quality checks, hence more time up to 6 weeks may be needed.)

We have option 4 for your consideration this year: Rental of playfield.

You may view the playfield quotation here.

Should you require more information or wish to purchase the playfield, please feel free to email us at shop@roboacademy.org.

We wish you all the best in your competition!

The year 2013 brings many much needed changes to Robo Academy.

Firstly, as you can see, here is our newly revamped website at http://roboacademy.org. The new website has had many changes to enhance the look and feel of the website. We will also be posting more articles to update you on the latest happenings in the world of LEGO and Robotics in general. Do visit our website more often!

Secondly, there are also massive changes to the volunteer structure of Robo Academy. Instead of just volunteering for World Robo Tournament, we are planning to venture out on more events the volunteers as a whole can participate in, for example, community service projects or smaller-scale competitions. There might even be sessions just dedicated to bonding too! When you register as a Robo Academy volunteer, you get to choose which events, projects, you wish to participate in. This allows our volunteer to be much more flexible and have more FUN!

Lastly, we are already looking for volunteers! Go to http://volunteer.roboacademy.org for more information!

Follow us on twitter at @RoboAcademy and like our facebook page at http://facebook.com/RoboAcademy.

Stay tuned for even more exciting announcements!

Tired of Students not knowing what to do with light sensor values?

Tired of them not knowing which is bright value and which is dark?

Introducing the Light Value Visualizer!~

With this nifty program, the students can see the intensity of the light using the value bar and the current light sensor value, to record the light values!

No more annoying beeps-and-boops of the Try-me! programs.

And with the push of the buttons, record the light sensor values! (Yeah.. no more bending over)

Super useful in tight spaces where you cant see the screen!

 

Press the Left Button to record the Dark value

Press the Right Button to record the Bright value

Press the Orange Button to Reset the Recorded values

 

Available for download HERE!

Snapshots will be uploaded soon, so stay tune!
