On December 12th, 2015, the Roboforce Robotics First Lego League (FLL) team from Somerset County 4-H, won the first place "Champions Award" in the NJ State FLL competition.

The Roboforce team bested 61 other winning teams from around the state, and was invited to be the one and only team to represent the state of New Jersey and participate in the 2016 FLL World Festival which will be held in St. Louis, Missouri April 27th-30th. Out of 16,762 teams in the world participating in the FLL competition they are one of only 108 teams that will be attending the World Festival in April.
While attending the World Festival is an honor, it also very costly. We are fundraising to defray the cost of approximately $10,000 in tournament fees, booth setup and travel related costs. We are looking for Corporate Sponsors for our team. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and will be displayed in our booth. Businesses making donations greater than $200 will get their logos placed on the back of our t-shirts, identifying them as one of our team sponsors to the thousands of attendees at this event.
If you would like to sponsor our team, please send your contribution to the address on this letterhead. Checks should be made payable to "Somerset County 4-H Association" and make a note that it is for the Roboforce Club FLL team. The Somerset County 4-H Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax deductible and a receipt can be provided if needed.

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances
IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
