Hogg Middle School, 1100 Merrill Street, Houston (Heights area)
The 2003 Spring Simple Machines Robotics Challenge for elementary
students is here!
The LEGOnauts have explored LEGO Centauri and it's time for them to
return to Earth. During the fall, you did an incredible job of helping
the LEGOnauts explore. If you accept, it is your mission to return the
exploration team to the landing zone. Since the transporters were
damaged during the landing, we need you to develop a robot that will
help transport 30 LEGOnauts from the exploration and habitation zones
to the landing zone.
Are you ready to step up to the challenge?
Here's how your school can get involved.
-Build a robot to solve the challenge http://robotics.nasa.gov/events/lego_2003spring.htm
-Contact Lucien Lucien.Junkin@jsc.nasa.gov
by February 21st to register your team.
You can obtain LEGO Simple Machines kits (now known as Simple
Mechanisms
kits) at http://www.lego.com/dacta/products/engineering.asp
or by calling
Betty Justus (LEGO representative) at 972-931-2550.
