Well, it's been a few weeks since the Workshop 3D RCX Challenge, and all the other results were in a long time ago, but we finally have the results for the code-only event. Since tab characters seem to disappear in these posts, and a table is required to show the results, I've created an ftx page for the full results of this event. See http://www.lugnet.com/robotics/events/~48/RCX_Challenge/2001-Oct The second and third run of the code only event were done at the Digilennium in Seattle earlier this afternoon. The lighting conditions there were much more suitable for this event. The winner? Steve Hassenplug, at 15.7 seconds! Way to go Steve! Second place goes to Joerg Pohl with 19.3 seconds. And Martin Egholm Nielsen comes in third at 20.6 seconds. Congradulations, and thanks again to everyone who participated! For next year we are considering several possibilities for how to make the lighting conditions less of an obstacle. Also, there will be a much stricter cut-off for submitting the code for the code only event, so you might want to start thinking about ideas already. While we don't know what the standard robot will be like for the next event, if anybody wishes to get a giant leap of a headstart, coming up with a good program for this year's robot will be great preparation. The next event will be held in April of 2002. -- David Schilling

		RE: Code-only Line-tracking competition
(...) David, thanks for putting this contest on. I admit that I was intrigued when it was announced but did not have time to put an entry together. The idea of a code-only competition on a standard hardware platform is brilliant and opens up the (...)

		Re: Code-only Line-tracking competition
(...) I don't know anything about this competition, but can't you just store the black line and the table as two different variables and have your program pick the halfway point and use that in its decision making when line-following? Of course, you (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.smart)

		Code-only Line-tracking competition
You can enter the WORKSHOP 3D LEGO RCX Challenge - a robot competition to be held in Seattle on October 6th - even if you don't want to travel here. There will be a "code only" line-tracking event that anyone can enter. Build a "standard robot" at (...) (23 years ago, 7-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
