Robot games
Ottawa held a regional version of the Canadian National Robot Games on June 11, 2011. See this page for details. See everyone at CNRG in Toronto in November!
Upcoming Events
The Canadian National Robot Games has been unfortunately cancelled this year. On the plus side, that gives everyone more time to tweak their robots for the Eastern Canadian Robot Games (ECRG) being held in Ottawa on May 12, 2012!
Website updates
We now have wiki pages and a blog. Everyone is welcome to contribute.
CNRG/ORE Robot Games
The Canadian National Robot Games and the Ottawa Robotics Enthusiasts club hosted the first annual CNRG Ottawa Regional competition on Saturday, June 11th, 2011, in the Arts Court "Library". The all-day competition featured MiniSumo and Line Follower robots competing head to head to be crowned the 2011 Ottawa champion. View more info on the Robot Games page!Who We Are
The Ottawa Robotics Enthusiasts (ORE) club is a informal group of hobby roboticists in Canada's national capital region. We get together at least once a month to show off our creations, share information, and work together on more ambitious projects. Some examples of what we do are:- Splatbots: autonomous robots armed with paintball markers and laser targeting systems.
- MiniORE and MicroORE: robot control modules based on PIC microcontrollers
- Public education: Ottawa Mini Maker Faire in 2010, Canada Museum of Science and Technology in 2003. We also work with several high schools in the area
- group challenges: line-following, mini-sumo, splatbots. Each a semi-competitive real-world challenges.
- group debugging: Most of our members were newcomers at one point and are ready to help with other's problems.
