With the Mapua Projects, it would be nice if the AFP conducts competition among ROTC units yearly to be supervised by its R & D.

Badger and Spartan II

Maybe with different categories for the branches of services.

i think we don't need to limit to ROTC only it should be open to any walk of life!, like hobbyist, enthusiast, students from any university and it should be nationwide!

I agree ...
Actually we need to promote this hobby ... not just to students or hobbyist ... even to young at hearts. Everytime I watch this kind of shows or contest in other countries I notice many builders, organizers etc. came from the young at heart age bracket :armygrin: For me its logical because they are the one who has the money ...
I notice here in our country robotics and RC is quite active, though not as active in other countries maybe because of financial factor. I have some friends who are very active in it, but it doesn't promote what we want to achieve.
An RC or robot that can be use by our own military personnel in times of war ...
I just hope the RC/robotics groups build some sort of website ... just like what happened to Filipino Airsoft ... and held as many contest as they can ... probably dogfighting, robot wars and alike ... just to start with .. :snipemo:

Mass produce badger and Spartan II, equip it with detonating devices, and make it mandatory for AFP infantry to carry in their knapsack. It's a good detonating device that can make and break in case of stalemates in ground war.
What a coincidence. I am preparing for my licensee exam in ham radio. I'm also self-studying electronics and robotics.

That robots are not design to be carried at backpacks, baka mabali likod natin dyan ... just my opinion :armycry:
I would rather recommend the DragonRunner

RP to host robot fest in 2010

MANILA, Philippines -- Robots of all shapes and sizes from at least 30 countries will try to outsmart and outclass each other during the World Robot Olympiad (WRO), which the Philippines is hosting for the first time in 2010.
Mylene Abiva, president and chief executive officer of the Philippine Robotics Olympiad (PRO), announced on Wednesday that after three tries, the country finally won the right to host the international competition.
More than 1,200 foreign students and coaches are expected to participate in the Manila edition of the WRO, according to Abiva, who also heads Felta Multi-Media, Inc., which runs the local robotics contest.
The WRO aims "to bring together young robotics scientists from all over the world to develop their creativity and problem-solving skills through computer technology, basic engineering, mechatronics, and communications," said Abiva.
It will be "another challenge for local robotics experts to show the world that they can be the best," added Ruby Cristobal, head of the science and technology culture development program of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
Aside from DOST and the Department of Education, PRO is also backed by SM Foundation, SM North Edsa Mall, McKester's peanut butter, A-Z Direct Marketing, and No Curfew watch.
In the past seven years, "the Philippines has won two WRO gold medals, courtesy of robotics entries from FAITH (First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities) in Tanauan City, Batangas and Grace Christian High School in Quezon City. The Philippine contestants also won two silvers and a bronze, Cristobal.
All five medals were bagged in the theme-based "open" category of the contest.
Both Abiva and Cristobal expressed confidence that Filipino students would again win medals in this year's WRO in Gyeongbuk Pohang, South Korea.
"We're aiming high. That is, to finally win medals in the regular category of the WRO," said Abiva.
Over 20 countries took part in the 2008 World Robotics Olympiad in Yokohama, Japan.
Aside from the Philippines, participants came from Russia, China, India, Singapore, Denmark, Sweden, Qatar, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates, among others.
For 2009, the Philippine Robotics Olympiad will be held in September to determine who will represent the country in the WRO in early November in South Korea.
Robotics teams from over 300 public and private elementary and high schools nationwide are expected to take part in the local contest.
The PRO is open to elementary students aged 10 to 12 and high school students 13 to 15 years old.
Preliminary and final judging of entries will be held on Sept. 23 and Sept. 25, respectively, at SM North Edsa Mall in Quezon City.
Last year's Philippine team was composed of students from Grace Christian College, FAITH, Nemesio Yabut Elementary School, International School Manila, Philippine Science High School (Bicol), and Benigno Aquino High School.
Robotics, a technology that uses computer-controlled robots to perform various tasks, has been integrated into the curriculum of many private elementary and high schools nationwide. Robotics clubs have also been formed in these schools.
