The Test Track Dummies, a robotics team comprised of 11 to 14 year olds from The Davidson Academy of Nevada, will present their research project and a working robot.

In preparation for the FIRST Lego League (FLL) robotics competition in Las Vegas on Dec. 5, the Test Track Dummies will present EAANN attendees with their team research project focusing on the problem of pedestrian and bicycle safety along the Virginia Street Corridor and Sierra Street near the University of Nevada, Reno. Members of the Test Track Dummies will also demonstrate the robot they built as a requirement for entry in the FLL competition.

This five-minute presentation will be followed by an interactive discussion with EAANN members regarding the team’s findings and proposed solution. Following the Test Track Dummies will be Carol Perry of RTC who will give us a presentation on walkable and bikeable communities. It’s really some great information that explains why the streets are designed the way they are.

Also, we’ll further develop and discuss the pending “Burning Man” ArtCar and Energy Art Exhibit for the 2010 Artown event next July.
