I have been involved with mentoring robotics to primary and secondary school students for many years. However, you might not know that back in 2023, I took over the role of Rescue Maze Challenge Coordinator for Robocup Junior Australia at the national level when my friend, Neil Gray, went to the US for a few years.
One of the primary projects I championed was the creation of a simpler Maze challenge than the original Open Maze challenge. We wanted something that beginners and younger students would enjoy getting involved with, which had a much gentler learning curve and lower cost barriers than the existing Open Maze challenge. This new division was named Mighty Maisy Maze (MMM) and was based on ideas that Neil had before he left.
You already know that I love robotics and working with primary and secondary school students to mentor them through the learning experience of building and programming robots for the Robocup Junior Australia challenges.
I was the Western Australia Rescue Line Coordinator for many years before moving to the Rescue Maze challenge in 2023. I have built many Rescue Line robots over the years, primarily using the various Lego Mindstorms platforms, including NXT, EV3 and now Spike Prime.
