Planning for NITRO 2004-2005
NITRO was a success during the last semester of 2003-2004. However, there is more planned. You can see this page for some of the events that have been considered. Suggestions are welcome. Note: NITRO does not sell any of the robots, which belong to their respective builders. |

News: NITRO had recently received an email threatening to shut it down because of "trademark issues". Further investigation has revealed it to be a hoax, and you can see the letter here. |

Why NITRO?
Nitro comes from the Latin word nitrum. It means "containing niter
". Niter is the Middle English word for potassium nitrate, KNO3, which is a white, gray, or colorless mineral and is used especially in making fertilizer, gunpowder and explosives. The idea is that our club will
involve lots of energetic, explosive, yet perfectly safe robotic combat. |

Introduction
My name is Frank (Tha-An) Lin and I am a NIST student in 11A. I have already sent a proposal for all teachers about a new club/organization/sport that I would like to promote in NIST. I call it, NITRO (Nist Interschool Tactical Robotics Organization). Using skills from the fields of maths, physics, chemistry and design technology (as well as a bit of art), students are invited to design, build and compete in 1 on 1 robotic combat using their inventions. These robots will be small, tethered creations that can be made by students who have no previous knowledge of electronics, mechanics or engineering. All that is needed is a thirst for knowledge, and an appreciation for technology and all things "cool".
