Robots to invade Camana Bay pool
Girls and boys, start your robots.
Those may not be the exact words used to start the Cayman Islands regional qualifier for the 2020 International SeaPerch Challenge on 7 March at the Camana Bay Aquatic Centre, but girls and boys will indeed start their remotely operated vehicles — often referred to simply as "ROVs" — before putting them to the test on the bottom of the pool. Viewing the competition is free of charge and open to the public.
"Skystone" builds local excellence in robotics
Nine teams from seven of Grand Cayman’s local high schools gathered at the Camana Bay Arts & Recreation Centre on 1 February for ‘SKYSTONE’, the 2020 Minds Inspired Robotics’ FIRST Technical Challenge. The students were asked to imagine the cities of the future and design a robot capable of overcoming obstacles that stand in the path to build a superstructure.
Reaching for the skies with Robotics
A long time ago (last year) in a galaxy far, far away (the Camana Bay Arts & Recreation Centre), eight teams of intrepid students deployed their custom-built robots to retrieve samples of silver and gold Unobtainium, a rare mineral found only on the barren Planet X.
This year, the students and their droid allies are tasked with a different mission: building towering structures that will climb into the skies.
