2011 Australian Open

Hobart, Tasmania

This year's RCJA Australian Open was be held at The University of Tasmania on the weekend of the 24th and 25th of September.

The Robotics Tasmania committee who ran the event were delighted with the large number of teams that competed from all Australian states, the ACT and New Zealand.

Two intense and exciting days of competition ensured some very high standard performances in Dance, Rescue and Soccer.

As a committee we were thrilled to usher in a new era of Novice League Soccer, a Saturday Night function and a popular video link on the big screen between venues.
