The VEX Robotics online competitions are now open for voting.
Submissions will be showcased on the RobotEvents.com Online Challenge website and will be scored by the viewing community. Submissions will be judged on a 50-point scale.
The community voting will determine seven of the ten finalists to be judged for the Award. Three additional submissions chosen by the VEX Advisory Council and the challenge partners will complete the group of ten finalists that move on to the last round of judging. The ten finalist entries will be scored with a weighted system including the community voting scores, scores given by the VEX Robotics Advisory Council and scores given by representatives from the presenting sponsors of the VEX Robotics Competition World Championship. The combined scores will determine the 2010 Award winner.

On Saturday the Kiwibots held the first Regional Competition for the 'Clean Sweep' season. With 30 teams taking part it was almost as big as the National Event we held last year! The qualification rounds were hard fought and the elimination rounds resulted in a few 'dark horse' surprises. Three competition fields ment that we were able to run a game every 5mins and our magnificent volunteers kept everything running on time.
We qualified 6 teams to compete in the world championships and hope to add more at the Lower North Island Regional competition and the upcomming Nationals.
