EVENT OVERVIEW
Animatronics refers to a robotic device that emulates a human or an animal, or brings an inanimate object "to life." Applying leadership and 21st century skills, teams produce an animatronics device complete with an appropriate display. The animatronics device must use control technology in its performance and fulfill the requirements of the theme to communicate, entertain, inform, demonstrate and/or illustrate a topic, idea, subject, or concept. Sound, lights, and surrounding environment are to accompany the device. The annual design problem is posted on the TSA website under Competitions/Themes and Problems.
