With a focus on coding and building, the one-hour workshop targeting teens and adults is as much about building robots as it is about teaching the participants how to programme them. To make their robots stronger, each team must programme the main processor, the sensor and the motors.
“There is a black line on the corner of the table; participants need to add a colour sensor so whenever the robot sees black colour, it should turn to avoid falling from the table. The robots also need to attack the other robots; that’s the goal. The one who falls will lose the game,” says Yazan Dardas, Computer Engineer, Fun Robotics.
“The more complex the programming, the stronger the robot. And only that one wins the game,” Yazan said, adding, “It’s not really a competition, but it is a lot of fun.”
From stimulating workshops to children’s programmes, cultural shows, and cook-offs, as well as a host of exciting and imaginative activities, there is something for everyone at SIBF 2022, which runs until November 13 at Expo Centre Sharjah.
