How to organize a local robotics championship and make it traditional (vol. 2)

Continuing the autobiographical notes about the Sakhalin Robotics Championship (the first part is available here ) - about how we continued to develop our event after the first experience, what we came up with, and what we abandoned. And why "copying" essentially identical robotics championships turned out to be not so true, and the uniqueness and identity of your own event is the key thing, without which it would be possible to burn out and stop in the second year. And what else can be added to the local championship to maintain interest in the championship.





Orientation to educational organizations or how to find new members

In addition to our own championship, 2017/2018 brought the same traditional JuniorSkills (which was no longer a part of WorldSkills and began to deflate at an even greater speed), RoboFest and the All-Russian Robotics Olympiad. In fact, we looked at the First LEGO League in real life only this academic year, but he convinced us of the need for a preamble and some history of the championship. There was also participation in federal championships, which added to us, as the organizers of their championship, new competencies - a breakdown of the time schedule of work into streams depending on age, sequential rewarding of all age categories and a corresponding refusal from a single closing of the championship, displaying intermediate results of races in the public domain,





However, in the summer of 2018, we returned to the question of our own championship - whether to try to make it traditional, whether to hold it a second time. After all, the fact that the event took place on a one-time basis and we managed to attract external participants could well have been an exception, and not a confirmation that we are able to conduct and organize regional events. In addition, and we understood this ourselves, our championship had one, but quite a large, drawback - all other competitions, the operators of which we were, had access to the level of the federation, while our championship was actually one-stage - no municipal qualifying competitions, no exit somewhere further outside the area.

It is the presence of such, sometimes small, changes, the ability to influence the events held, and positive feedback, especially from “traditional” participants, that help not to reach the stage of burnout from the event. And this allows you to think ahead - how else you can finalize the event for the next year.
