Each January\, teams across the country receive a robot kit\, and mu st design and build a robot over the next two months to compete against ro bots from other teams in the region\, leading to the international competi tion. Each year’s contest is new\, requiring distinctive robot behaviors . (2012’s robot shot baskets with a regulation basketball.)\n\nQC Elite is nearing completion of its 2022 robot design and build. The team will be working all day Saturday\, Feb 19\, as the deadline approaches to seal th e robot from further development prior to competition. This year’s team includes about 15 students and engineer advisors. This meeting will be inf ormal\, watching students put the finishing touches on the robot. The IEEE St. Ambrose University Student Branch is treating the team to pizza for l unch. Feel welcome to bring along family members or a young aspiring scien tist or engineer.\n\nThe team will display and explain the mechanical\, el ectrical\, and programming features of this year’s robot that distinguis h it from past competitions.\n\nLOCATION: Arconic Learning Center\, Manor Drive\, Riverdale\, IA\n\nDIRECTIONS: The Arconic Learning center is locat ed on Manor Drive\, Riverdale\, Iowa\, just off US\n\n67 directly across f rom Alcoa. Driving northward from Bettendorf on US 67\, pass the stoplight entrance to the Arconic plant\, pass the stoplight at the fire station\, and then turn left onto Manor drive. The parking lot entrance is the first right on Manor drive. Another approach is to exit Interstate 80 southward onto U.S. 67\, in which case one turns right onto Manor drive just before the stop light at the fire station.\n\nAGENDA: 11:15-Noon Arrival and inf ormal observation of team building activity\n\nNoon-12:30 Lunch - Assorted Pizza\, Chips\, Cookies\, Soft Drinks/Lemonade/Water\n\n12:30-1:00 Brief presentation on this year’s design and build\n\nCOST: No Charge\n\nRESER VATIONS: Contact Gary Monnard\, the St. Ambrose IEEE Student Branch Counse lor at\n\nMonnardGary@sau.edu or (563) 333-6181. Please indicate if you a re an IEEE member. (Reservations are not required\, but it helps to know a bout how many plan to attend.)\n\n(Donations to IEEE Student Branch are we lcome but not required)\n\nBldg: Arconic Learning Center (Formerly Alocoa Learning Center)\, 4900 State St\, Riverdale\, Iowa\, United States\, 5272 2 LOCATION:Bldg: Arconic Learning Center (Formerly Alocoa Learning Center)\, 4900 State St\, Riverdale\, Iowa\, United States\, 52722 ORGANIZER:MonnardGary@sau.edu SEQUENCE:10 SUMMARY:IEEE Iowa-Illinois Section & Computer Society Meeting – Saturday\ , Feb 19\, 2022 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/304438 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>TOPIC:</strong> &n bsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp \;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; <strong>QC Elite Robotics Team Demonstratio n &amp\; Pizza Lunch</strong></p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p>QC Elite Team 648 Robotics ( <a href="http://www.qcelite.com">www.qcelite.com </a> ) competes annually to inspire its Quad Cities high school participan ts to be future engineers and scientists.&nbsp\; Each January\, teams acro ss the country receive a robot kit\, and must design and build a robot ove r the next two months to compete against robots from other teams in the re gion\, leading to the international competition.&nbsp\; Each year&rsquo\;s contest is new\, requiring distinctive robot behaviors.&nbsp\; (2012&rsqu o\;s robot shot baskets with a regulation basketball.)</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p> \n<p>QC Elite is nearing completion of its 2022 robot design and build.&nb sp\; The team will be working all day Saturday\, Feb 19\, as the deadline approaches to seal the robot from further development prior to competition .
