  • Abstract
    We propose the education design experiment (EDE) as a framework for education and research in robotics and we discuss its implementation in Trinity College Fire-Fighting Home Robot Contest (TCFFHRC) projects. We show how evaluation of robot contest projects leads to upgrading of contest assignments, which in turn inspire teams to develop innovative fire-fighting robots. The paper presents results of the TCFFHRC evaluation surveys as well as the theoretical Olympiad, both challenging assignments guided by new contest rules.
