Tri-national Robo, Game & IoT Cup 2018

The Robo & Game Cup in 2017 was unexpectedly well received with 34 participants. found. Cogito from Zgorzelec and the HSZG's computer science department want to build on this success. and will therefore be holding another international cup on April 24, 2018 at 12 noon. again. This year, the two divisions Robo and Game will be joined by an area "Internet of Things (IoT)" with the Calliope.

Our living environment is increasingly determined by intelligent systems. We want to learn how we can design this intelligent environment. In the Game and IoT categories, a creative idea, attractive interaction with the user and graphic design are crucial. This competition is therefore also suitable for participants with a talent in one of these areas. The competition is open to students from secondary schools in the region in Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany. The competition languages are Polish, German and English. There are two age categories: "<=15" and ">=16" in each of the three divisions: Robo, Game and IoTCup. At the beginning there is a joint theory part. RoboCup participants work in groups of 2-3 participants. You can take part in the Game and IoT Cup as an individual participant or in groups of 2-3 people.

Competition

1. theoretical part with one questionnaire per group/participant

2. practical part

Robo Cup: A line tracking program for the Lego NXT will be provided. This program will be improved by each group. The aim is to complete the line course in the shortest possible time.

Game Cup: Creation of an animation program in Scratch on the computer in the lab. Demonstration and explanation of the program. Attractive game idea, interaction, graphic design and programming are evaluated.

IoT Cup: Creation of an IoT program in Scratch with one or more Calliope boards with programming on the computer in the laboratory. calliope.cc Demonstration and explanation of the program. Product idea, interaction with the user, creative use of sensors & communication between the boards are evaluated.

Evaluation: The group with the best overall result in the respective age group, i.e. in theory and practice, wins.
