Changed line 1 from:

The NRB group has instituted a skill level system to helps its members progress in their robot building abilities. This system is patterned after what other robot groups have done to try to boost building skills. These levels are similar to Boy Scout Merit Badges. A member can work on a skill at their own rate and then with a successful demonstration at a club meeting get credit. Credit is little more than bragging rights and your initials on a list. The system also fosters technical interchanges during meetings as skills are attempted.

Some general rules.

Safety should always be paramount. Dangerous weights, speeds, and materials should be properly considered before demonstrations.

Robots should not damage their environments.

Changed lines 11-16 from:

The definitions of each skill are written very broadly and simply on purpose. The idea is not to so over specify the skill that the member feels overwhelmed. This is not a license to work around the spirit of the skill!

These skill levels are broken down into to main categories. Small robots than can operate on a table and those larger ones needing a room or the outdoors.

The Table Top levels are to be done with a robot of the member's choice, operating autonomously, and without falling off the table.

to:

The definitions of each skill are written very broadly and simply on purpose. The idea is allow maximum flexibility to prevent members from feeling overwhelmed. This is not a license to work around the spirit of the skill!

For the most part, the robot and ancillary materials are member supplied. NRB does not provided mazes or line following mats. Of course, this does not preclude members helping each other out with such materials.

Robots must be autonomous and not remotely operated by a human. This does not preclude processing to be done remotely over a communication link of some sort.
