Robotics, Division 861 Classes
*H861-001 - Robotics Poster – Create a poster (28” x 22”) communicating a robotics theme such as “Robot or Not”, “Pseudocode”, “Real World Robots”, “Careers in Robots” or “Autonomous Robotics”, “Precision Agriculture” or a robotic topic of interest to the 4-H member.
*H861-002 - Robotics Notebook – Explore a robotics topic in-depth and present your findings in a notebook. Documentation should include any designs, research, notes, pseudocode, data tables or other evidence of the 4-H member’s learning experience. The 8 1/2” x 11” notebook should contain at least three pages. Topics could include a programming challenge, programming skills, calibration, sensor exploration, or any class 1 topic.
H861003 - Robotics Video (County only) – This class should be displayed in a notebook. The notebook should include a video clip that demonstrates the robot performing the programmed function. Include your pseudo code and screenshots of the actual code with a written description of the icon/command functions. Videos can be uploaded to a video streaming application and 4-H member MUST provide a hard-copy QR code for viewing. 4-H member should test their codes or links on several devices to check for appropriate permissions for public viewing.
*H861-004 – Robotics/Careers Interview – Interview someone who is working in the field of robotics and research the career in robotics. Interviews can either be written or in a multimedia format, such as a short video uploaded to a cloud sharing service. 4-H member must provide a hard-copy QR code for viewing. 4-H member should test their codes or links on several devices to check for appropriate permissions for public viewing. Multimedia reports should be between 3 to 5 minutes in length. Written interviews should be in a 8 1/2” x 11” notebook. Written reports should be 3 to 5 pages, double spaced, 12-point font, and 1” margins.
*H861-005 - Robotics Sensor Notebook – Write scratch code which includes at least three sensor activities. Include the code written and explain the code function. Codes can be submitted as a multimedia format uploaded to a cloud sharing service. 4-H member must provide a hard-copy QR code for viewing. 4-H member should test their codes or links on several devices to check for appropriate permissions for public viewing. Multimedia presentations should be between 3 to 5 minutes in length.
H861-006 – Build a Robot (may use kit) (County only) – Include a robot and notebook including the pseudocodes for at least one program you have written for the robot, the robot’s purpose, and any challenges or changes you would make in the robot design or programming. Junk Drawer Robotics do not qualify.
*H861-007 - Kit Labeled Robot (cannot be free programmed) and Notebook – This class is intended for explorations of robotic components such as arms or vehicles OR educational kits marketed as robots that do not have the ability to be programmed to “sense, plan and act.” The exhibit should include a notebook with the robot the 4-H member has constructed. Included in the notebook should be 1) a description of what the robot does, 2) pictures of programs the robot can perform, 3) why they chose to build this particular form, and 4) how they problem-solved any issues they might have had during building and programming. A picture story of assembly is recommended.
*H861-008 - 3D Printed Robotics Parts – This class is intended for 4-H members to create parts, through 3D printing, to help create their robot or aid the robot in completing a coded function. Project should include a notebook describing the process used to create the project, describe the success of your designed piece (did it work), intended use of the product and the modifications made to the item.
An asterisk* in front of a division/class number indicates the class is State Fair eligible.
