There has been a 24-hour programming contest (something quite
close to a survival camp :-D) in Hungary in the beginning of
this summer on which one of the task the participants have to
solve to build a line-follower robot. At the beginning of the
contest they've got an CD with the NQC and an unopened box of
mindstorms 2.0 (with its sinle light sensor) and nothing else.
Participants were allowed to bring their own computers, laptops
etc but they did know nothing about the tasks. They were not
allowed to use internet resources during the contest.

The line the robot had got to follow was made of dark adhesive
tape (on almost white floor), consisting of straight and curved
parts as well as 90 degree and even more sharp turns to the
left and the right.

Another task was to read Morse signals "written" on the floor
with black self adhesive tape. The morse signals were written
on a straight line :-D

Challanging is not it.
