We are very fortunate to have the ongoing support from the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, ANU, Siding Spring Observatory, who were more than willing to engage in a local program that promoted STEM.
This partnership has enabled us to connect with knowledgeable mentors, utilise well-equipped workshops and equipment, and build the Team’s understanding of all things mechanical, electrical and design. Our AAO mentors have been an invaluable asset to our team and an important factor in our successes. |
Macquarie University: Robots In The OutbackThe initial sponsorship from the Macquarie University – RITO provided funding that subsidised our entry into the competition for the first 2 years. In addition to the funding the team benefitted from assistance in the form of two international mentors who worked with the team for two days in early 2017. They brought valuable knowledge of the FIRST competition and the build process of the robot.
