If there is, I don't know about it.


I'd love to participate. Let me know if you need any help!

Hello Folks,

It has been a while since I participated here (my brick collection was
flooded last winter!) and I am glad to see the community is even more active
than I remember.  One of the activities I enjoyed most last year was
participating in contest and competitions.  Not only did they provide great
ideas for building robotics projects, the submissions always taught me a
thing or two.

As I am getting back into the swing of things, I have found several
competitions scattered around the net, some sponsored by LUG's, some by
universities and others by TLG itself.  What I did not find was some sort of
central contest repository.

What I imagine is a website that will:
-accept suggestions for contests
-facilitate a short discussion on the merits/rules/conditions of submitted
contsts
-accept entries (robots) for the contests during the contest period
-Determine a winner based on time/points/etc.
-Maintain an archive of contests/entries (this may be esp. useful for
educators that need suggestions for class activities)

Initially the contests would be challenge-like and score-at-home, but if the
geography was right and demand was high, there could be actual competitions
involving a real life get together with multi-robot competitions.

I have the expertise to build and run the site, would love to participate in
such a site, and I am pretty sure I have the time. Now the questions:  Is
this already being done?  Is anyone interested in this sort of website?

Any feedback would be welcome
