Social, Therapeutic and Robotic Systems (STaRS) is a robot-human interaction research group housed in Butler, operated by students, and under the supervision of Dr. Cindy Bethel (cbethel@cse.msstate.edu). I apologize for the short notice.
Members of STaRS will provide a presentation of some of the work they have done with their robots and share more information about what they do and how you can join! There will also be pizza at this event.
Please think of questions to ask them during the meeting!
Place: Butler 100
Date: Thursday (Nov. 8th )
Time: 5:30pm
If you are not a member of ACM, free feel to come to this event and join ACM ($5). ACM t-shirts will also be on sale at every event ($10).
ACM has more exciting things planned for the semester. Stay tuned for more information!
Are you looking for a way to get more hands-on experience in Computer Science? Try looking into clubs/organizations, research groups and/or work-studies to further your knowledge and experience beyond what you’re taught in class!
If you’re interested in STaRS, but won’t be able to attend the meeting. Contact Dr. Cindy Bethel (cbethel@cse.msstate.edu Butler 313) for more information.
Have a great day,

Congratulations to our winners!
1st & 2cnd place (split) : Gangle and Foxxbird
3rd place: Dakrin
A picture of our winners Dakrin (left), Foxxbird (middle), Gangle (right) .
Thank you for all who participated, especially to our sponsors Navagis (a corporation founded by MSU Alumni)! Let us know how we did hosting this event by leaving a comment in this post. We collected $280.00 in entry fees, gave $168.00 dollars away to first and second place ($82 dollars for both of them, our third place winner David Moore, aka Dakrin the president of Navagis, graciously donated his prize to first and second place) and managed to raise $112.00 for ACM.
Below are matches commentated by Charlie Anderton. He asks that you rate, comment, and subscribe to his youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/AnAlbumCoverSCII (you can also view all the videos here). He is offering his casting services for the future. His email is AnAlbumCoverSCII@gmail.com if you want to get in touch with him. He says he will accept any skill level. I am only posting the final 3 games on this website. For the rest that Charlie commented see his youtube channel mentioned above.

Starcraft II Tournament Fund Raiser
ACM is having a LAN party event that is dedicated to playing a Starcraft II Double Elimination Tournament. This event takes place Saturday, September 18th at Butler Hall (see directions here). People are welcome to come socialize and spectate the matches being played in the tournament. We may also try to stream the Starcraft II tournament matches here on our website as well. ACM will be having a competitive tournament (entry fee $10) in the Butler Computer Lab dedicated to just Starcraft II. Also, a couple of TVs will be set up in the student lounge, one with an Xbox and the other with a Wii. If people get bored of spectating they could also plug the consoles up to the projectors. Console players are welcome to bring their own consoles, games, and controllers to setup as well. The football game versus LSU will be shown on the projector in Butler 100 over the ESPN3 video stream (Go Bulldogs!) so no one has an excuse not to come! ACM is looking to make this a big event so we would appreciate it if you helped spread the word about it. The Starcraft II Tournament is a fundraiser for ACM in which the winners will receive a portion of the entry fees. First place gets 30%, second place 20%, third place 10%. Thanks to our sponsors Navagis (a corporation founded by MSU alumni) ACM will also be giving away some 8 gig USB drives to some of the other people that place high in the tournament. ACM would graciously accept donations as well at the registration desk, but in no way shape or form are we obligating anyone to do so. Participants in the tournament are required to bring there own desktop and legitimate copy of Starcraft II to play. ACM will help provide equipment to help move your equipment into the Butler Computer Lab Safely. There will be people out in the parking lot to assist you in directing where you can load and unload your equipment.
Please note that no food or drink are allowed in the lab or classrooms at any time. If you bring food or drinks, please restrict their usage to our student lounge and the lobby.
The official rules and regulations of the tournament, as well as what equipment you will need to bring, can be found here: Tournament Rules . It is crutial that you read and understand our Terms of Service if you want to participate in the tournament.
Also if you are bringing your desktop to the social room please read the “Equipment” section of the Tournament Rules .
ACM will have a table setup in the lobby of Butler Hall to collect entry fees for the tournament (for the week of Sept 12th-18th). The first 64 people to register for the tournament will be the first that get to play so come register quickly. The times the table is going to be open is subject to change, however here is a rough schedule:
Monday/Wednesday – 9:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Tuesday/Thursday – 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Friday – 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (with breaks for lunch, etc)
You may also pay your entry fee on the day of the tournament at our registration desk, but there is no guaranteeing there will be a spot for you on this day unless you pay in advance.
Please RSVP for this event (even if you are just coming to socialize)! You can RSVP on facebook, or email us at msu.acm.webmaster@gmail.com. If you would like to volunteer to be on staff please contact us at msu.acm.webmaster@gmail.com . We would love to have more volunteers to help run this event.
Feel free to leave comments/suggestions below how ACM can better help serve you for this event!
