Win $50 !
In an effort to improve and share navigation technology we have created a contest based on the idea of a navigational beacon.
This contest may be modified if it proves to be too simple.
Additions to the contest rules are expected as more and more working beacons are demonstrated.
-
Objective: A robot (in a random orientation) placed in a 2' x 2' square starting location must
travel to a beacon located at the center of a 1' x 1' square.
The fastest robot to arrive at the beacon (touching any part of the 1' x 1' square box) wins the contest.
-
Details: The start location and the beacon are located 10' apart.
There are no obstacles between the squares.
The contest will be held on a carpeted or tiled floor.
Lighting will vary, so make sure to have a robot that can work in various lighting conditions.
-
Prizes: The winner of the contest will get a $50 prize.
