2017 RoboCup Junior - Soccer workshops
On Saturday 28 May we Brian Thomas (Tommo) gave Robocup Jr. soccer workshops at Rose Bay High School. We had about 15 students and teachers attending. Thanks to Tommo, all the students made great progress. It should be a good year for soccer this year at Robocup Jr. in Tasmania.

2015 RoboCup Junior
Tasmanian State Finals - Results
We had a successful state finals this year. We had 68 teams with 200 students competing.
Thank you to all the volunteers and mentors that helped make RoboCup happen this year.
Thank you also to our major sponsors: The University of Tasmania, Energizer and MTA. The University of Tasmania made a huge contribution to the success of RoboCup, with both a direct contribution (in terms of prizes from the School of Engineering and School of Computing and Information Systems) and indirectly by providing us the facilities to hold RoboCup (partly via financial support from the Faculty of Science and Engineering). There were many different university staff who contributed to the organisation of RoboCup this year. Thank you to all the staff who help make RoboCup happen this year!!
MTA, on top of their major financial contribution to RoboCupJunior Australia, made an in-kind contribution to RoboCup in Tasmania this year by donating the EV3 kit that was raffled off. Those of you who have worked with EV3 appreciate how lucky that one student winner was.... I am sure we will see even more EV3 robots next year.
Next year's Tasmanian State Finals of RoboCup will be at the University of Tasmania Sandy Bay campus, hopefully in mid-August. We will let you know when the date is finalised

We were able to grow our numbers for soccer this year, in part due to the efforts of Brian 'Tommo' Thomas. Nick Smith was very pleased with the growth in the number of soccer teams, and we look forward to more growth in soccer numbers next year.
