I went to the Encino Park Robotics Club meeting on Friday. The kids were preparing for the January competition held by Texas Computer Education Association. They have a difficult problem to solve, but I think they will do fine. The field is set up with 5 cans of Big Red placed in randomly selected places on a circle, and the task is to push as many as possible to the wall. This means the kids need to anticipate the locations of the cans and deal with the randomness somehow. I was impressed by how well they demonstrated they could solve the problem and get a good score.
You can see a video of last year's contest at http://www.tcea.org/collaborate/robotics/Pages/index.aspx.
The competition is in New Braunfels on January 8th.
