4-H Fair Challenges

Each year at the 4-H fair, all clubs from the Somerset County 4-H Robotics Division are invited to compete in a challenge that requires members operate their robots in autonomous and teleoperated modes, respectively. Division open meetings are scheduled for participants to design, build and practice their robots.

Volunteering for the Fair

Many BananaBots parents and members volunteered at the 4-H Fair. Working with the other clubs from the Robotics Division, we made every possible effort to make the fair a success. This year we helped to set up and decorate the Robotics tent, coordinate youth robotics activities, clean food tent, and clean up the fair ground. We also helped to build a brand new board for the competition!

Blazing New Paths Competition Rules

In this challenge the robots follow the lines on the competition board automously first. Afterwards the participants will use remote controls to maneuver the robots to pick up short wodden beams from the storage areas and stack them up at the designated locations.
