Welcome to the 2011 PiHi Samurai Robtics Team! This page is dedicated towards the current game for the 2011 FRC Build and Competition Season! Here, you can find the PDF for the game, the rules, and video demonstrating how the game is played!
Who the heck is Jack Kamen?
Jack Kamen is the son of FIRST founder, Dean Kamen. He was an illustrator who worked on Pulp Fiction in the 50′s as well as many logos (including the design for FIRST’s logo, hence “LOGO” motion). If you watched the live stream, you’ll see Dean mention “cancer” a bit during his lecture about why FIRST is FIRST. This is because Jack died from it in 2008. His older son Barton helped find the cure for leukemia, and is currenty Chief Medical Officer of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This year’s competition is in honor of him, for his design of the FIRST logo 20 years ago.
Video Demonstration
If you need help with the competition, watch the whole thing. HOWEVER! The rules are CONSTANTLY changing! This video may be out of date. If you need to know a CERTAIN RULE, please download the PDF here or check out the LOGO MOTION Game Description on Alexander’s website EDIT: Apparently Alexander’s website is being accused of holding malware by Google (which is COMPLETELY FALSE). Once this is resolved, the link will be up again!
