Swimming Pool Schedule – Week 12
Volunteer Assistance for NIS Robotics Competition
Dear Teachers,
On Saturday 8th November, our Robotics Team will be participating in the NIS VEXV5 Robotics Rumble here in the Blue Gyms at NIS.
To ensure that the hosting of this event runs smoothly, there are a lot of small jobs that need to happen on that day. As a number of you have expressed interest in knowing more about the robotics here at NIS, I am reaching out to see if you would be interested in volunteering some time on the Saturday to assist.
Activities that we will need assistance with include;
- Robot Check-in: Making sure robots have their correct color license plate on before each match
- Pit Monitor: Making sure teams head to match check-in ready for their match
- Field Setup: Checking students reset the field correctly after each match
- Robot Judging: Judging the Innovate Award (using a supplied rubric)
None of these activities require any knowledge of robotics, except perhaps the judging.
If you are interested and able to volunteer some of your time on Saturday, please let me know (in person or by email). I will be running an information session this coming Saturday morning (1st Nov) from 9:00am for anybody who is interested and able to assist, where I will be showing people exactly what each activity involves. After the session you are welcome to stay to watch the students participate in the NIS Playoffs in preparation for the Robotics Rumble Competition
Cheers Ken
Zhang Bo will be the MOD on Oct. 25, 2025.
