| [Local News] Space Robot Challenge, a creative mission |
 Korea Robot Soccer Association(KRSA) hosted an amazing project, called SPACE ROBOT CHALLENGE, in April. Over three thousand Korean youngsters made robots which would work in Space. This project took only one month. Space Robots were placed on a huge Mars-shaped stage and implemented their missions such as exploration, transportation, mining, construction and many others. Prof. Jong-Hwan Kim, President of FIRA and IROC, the planner and organizer of this project said, “When I was watching the SPIRIT(Exploration Robot) landing on the surface of Mars, I was struck with a bright idea, Space Robot Challenge to give our promising youths an opportunity to make space robots on their own”
Robotics@Space is the theme of creativity category of the 6th International Robot Olympiad 2004.

[AD] Want to join in Int’l Robot Olympiad?
National Partnership is the Answer!
|
FIRA organized the International Robot Olympiad Committee in 1998, and started to host the International Robot Olympiad every year. Teams and categories vary and missions are getting more sophisticated. It’s all organized and supported by NATIONAL PARTNERS.
We believe robotics will enhance creative learning and prepare our youngsters for the challenging world of science and technology.
National partner and IROC headquarters will work together to make the future scientists’ dream come true. There are three levels of national partnership.
LEVEL 1: Participation of IRO more than 3 times (all benefit, permanent)
LEVEL 2: Governmental, Non-profit organization
(including nation-wide competition, 4 years)
LEVEL 3: IROC member, Robot Educational Company
(recommendation and support up to 2 teams, 2 years)
If you are interested in being part of IROC history, please contact office@iroc.org for more information.
