Robot competitions!
I have long been waiting for something to be done. So, Microsoft is opening (not the first) competition of emulated (not real) robots in the world !
Anyone can program a robot - you don’t need to make it from improvised materials, you just need a program - and put it to competitions in various fields. All the necessary software (like, except for the studio) can be downloaded there.
It's not just interesting, it's fun! :)
Competitions are held in six disciplines:
1. passing the maze (it seems the robot sees a three-dimensional picture)
2. exploring new lands (Martian;)
3. driving around the city
4. saving the robot
5. sumo
6. tournament (it is still not clear which one)
Details: www.RoboChamps.com(Silverlight needed)
