2019MakeX机器人大赛纽约公开赛将于十月十三日（Columbus Day长周末）首次在北美举行。这次比赛的参赛对象是6到13 岁的学生，如果学生懂得Scratch编程会更好（但是不要求），每支参赛队伍学生人数1–2人，每队必须包含至少1名指导教师（可以由家长担任）。这次纽约公开赛的优胜者不需要通过多轮优胜后才能进入到最后的全球总决赛，而是直接拿到参加今年底的深圳全球总决赛的入场券。
2019年赛季的主题为《守护家园》。“守护家园”比赛分为自动控制阶段与手动控制阶段两个部分。选手需要用Makeblock的Mbot 机器人（https://www.makeblock.com/steam-kits/mbot）在4分钟内完成指定的任务，获得竞赛得分。（参考https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDX62k0FsMw&feature=youtu.be）

因为今年是MakeX第一次在北美举行正式比赛，MakeX waive了所有参赛队伍的registration fee，当然每队需要自己购买机器人MBOT，以及零件扩展包等，arena kit（比赛地图）是建议购买，不要求 （以2人为一队的组合，大约费用为每人$215多左右）。
为了方便家长和学生了解并参与我们的MakeX纽约公开赛，我们会在六月中下旬举办一个workshop，介绍相关的比赛事宜和参赛准备，欢迎大家关注。
对于多数完全没有接触过MBOT这种小机器人的学生，我们也准备了一个暑期的密集训练营，为了方便大家的时间和各种夏令营活动的安排，训练营会采用ONLINE的形式进行，并且提供录像回放，尽量方便学生在不太受时间和空间的限制下，进行学习和练习，做好比赛的前期准备。

The 2019 MakeX Robotics New York Open will be held in North America for the first time on October 13th (Columbus Day long weekend). The competition is for students between the ages of 6 and 13. If students know Scratch programming will be better (but not required), each team will have 1–2 students, and each team must include at least one instructor (parents can be an instructor). The winners of this New York Open do not need to win multiple rounds to enter the global finals, but directly get tickets to participate in the Shenzhen Global Finals at the end of this year.
The theme of the 2019 season is “City Guardian”. The “City Guardian” competition is divided into two parts: the automatic control phase and the manual control phase. Players need to use Makeblock’s Mbot robot (https://www.makeblock.com/steam-kits/mbot) to complete the assigned task in 4 minutes and get the competition score.

Because this year is the first time that MakeX has held an official competition in North America, MakeX waives the registration fee for all participating teams. Of course, each team needs to purchase the MBOT robot and the addon pack. The arena kit (competition mat) is recommended but not required. (for a 2 students team, the cost is about $215 per person).
In order to facilitate parents and students to understand and participate in 2019 MakeX New York Open, we will hold a workshop in the middle and late June to introduce relevant competition matters and preparations for participation. Welcome, everyone’s attention.
For most students who have never been exposed to MBOT, we have also prepared a summer intensive training camp. In order to facilitate everyone’s time and various summer camp activities, the training camp will be held ONLINE and provide video recording for replay and review, we hope this can make it easier for students to learn and practice without the constraints of time and location, and can well prepare for the October competition.
