Perry students publish papers at national conference
The DeWitt Perry Robotics Club will have 9 papers published in the procedings of the National Conference on Educational Robotics in San Jose, CA.  The conference is co-located with the American Association of Artificical Intelligence Conference which takes place July 25th - July 28th.  The nine papers are:

• Drew Fisher -  The CMUcam Color Tracking System: A Better Way to Calibrate for Botball
• Charuta Gavankar -  Managing and Directing a Winning Botball Documentation Team
• Alex Gonzales  -  Medical Robotics
• Bryan Mahony -  Robots in the Military
• Lindsey Humphries + Jennifer Long - Subsumption Architecture: An Introduction to Behavior Based Artificial Intelligence
• Steven Schrag  + David Culp-  Comparing Robot Microcontrollers for Use In a Middle School or High School Setting.
• David Culp  –  Grant Writing Tips for Educators, Robot Games Kids Can Play, The Kitchen Sink: An experiment in Robotics.

Because the club placed 2nd in the national website competition and 1st two years in a row in the documentation website competition they were invited to give a special presentation on preparing a research website in addition to the above papers.

The club is hard at work preparing for the National Botball Tournament which takes place during the conference.  Earlier in the year the club dominated the Oklahoma Regional, taking more awards home than the rest of the schools combined, including 1st and 2nd place in the region.  They did this against mostly high school teams.

The club is able to send 22 students to CA to compete and participate in the conference because of donations from the CFB Educational Foundation, The Verizon Corporation, BASF, the wonderful staff at Perry, especially Ms. Kollemier and Mrs. Schneiderwind, Advanced Academic Services, and the community at large.
