2005 ROBOT CHALLENGE, April 16 & 17, 2005
Though the students are the TRUE STARS of this show, we would like to recognize their TEACHERS who are the ones who work, motivate, and guide them and generally keep the projects flowing. Also the parents who have probably put up with some pretty late nights and irregular schedules this past week or two.
We would like to THANK the many people who contributed to making this event memorable and special to all of our students who participated with such enthusiasm. They put on a great show, and the Organizers, Photographers, "PIT" experts, and of course the Judges were the ones who made it happen. We would like to acknowledge the following:

Responsible for all the Challenges is Chris Smith, who deserves a big hand for doing a great job with the arrangements
On behalf of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) who sponsor the Robot Challenge, we would like to thank all of the above, as well as the parents who have put up with the stress of their children working on this project for the past few weeks, and who came to the Museum this weekend to support them in their Challenge.
