Description: An exhibit of two parts: (1) a robot made
by the member, and (2) a Robotics Engineering
Journal. Projects should be a robot created by youth.
For the purposes of this project exhibit, a robot is de-
fined as a machine that is electrical and mechanical
and is guided by a computer program. They can be
created from kits or from mescellaneous parts. All
robots will be returned after fair. More weight is given
for youth designed projects. Robots will be judged on
structural stability, creativity, funcionality. Youth are re-
sponisble for submitting clear directions on hjow
judges can access the files and make the robot func-
tion. Robot and a full description of what it is meant
to accomplish must be submitted.
A Robotics Engineering Journal is required. Include
the date of each meeting, names of the persons pres-
ent and a record of what was done. Include photos, il-
lustrations and examples of software code developed
or changed. The journal information will be used by
the member to fill out the Robotics Project
Description sheet for fair. It is important that the
member downloads the Robotics Project Description
sheet from 4-h Project Description sheets posted at
http://oregon.4h.oregonstate.edu/node/1858 to know
what is required in the Journal. Be sure the Journal in-
cludes the problem/task you choose to solve or what
you hoped to accomplish. What were the goals of the
project? What is the robot programmed to do? List
the steps you used to solve the problem or accom-
plish your task. What materials (software, books,
online resources, kits) did you use? Explain your re-
sults and provide a thoughtful evaluation of the proj-
ect. If you were to do it again, how/what would you
do differently or how would you improve your proj-
ect? Who was involved in this project? How did you
come up with the idea for this project? What was the
most difficult aspect of this project?

clude a schematic diagram. The exhibit may be a
poster or a three-dimensional display. Individual ex-
hibits are limited in size to 30” wide, 24” deep
(front to back), and 36” high. Club exhibits are lim-
ited in size to 60” wide, 24” deep and 36” high.
Classes will be divided into the following groups:

it which will show or illustrate what the member has
learned. Include an explanation telling: (a) how the ex-
hibit was made or what was done in the project; (b)
operating instructions (if appropriate); and (c) what
the member learned by the doing the project.

Designing Spaces
Members are encouraged to enter Educational
Displays under the Communications division, enter
Science experiments under the Science division (i.e.
compare energy use with different types of lighting,
water efficient products, use of landscape to heat or
cool homes), and enter career exploration, hands for

Leadership division.
Members may enter up to three clases, one exhibit

classes align with the four elements of designing a
space, designing a room, furnishing a room, finishing
a room, and creating a healthy room environment.
Judging critera are outlined on the appropriate evalua-
tion form: Furnishing & Finishing Designing Spaces
