AMAZED CHALLENGE DETAILS
The Amazed Challenge is designed to measure your ability to program a simulated, autonomous robot that successfully navigates a 3-D virtual maze from beginning to end.
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to submit an entry into the Amazed Challenge, then you agree that your participation in the Amazed Challenge is subject to the following terms and conditions:
- The RoboChamps Official Rules posted here.
- The Amazed Challenge Details described below.
- The RoboChamps Terms of Use
- The RoboChamps Code of Conduct
If there are any inconsistencies between the RoboChamps Official Rules, the RoboChamps Terms of Use, the RoboChamps Code of Conduct and/or these Amazed Challenge Details, the RoboChamps Official Rules will govern.
WHAT ARE THE START AND END DATES?
This Challenge starts at 12:01 AM Pacific Time (“PT”) on April 21, 2008and has been extended to end at 11:59 PM PT on June 24, 2008 (“Entry Period”).
(NOTE: PT = GMT minus 8 hours). Entries must be received within the Entry Period to be eligible.
CAN YOU ENTER?
You are eligible to enter this Challenge if you meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the “Eligibility Criteria” section of the RoboChamps Official Rules.
WHAT CONSTITUTES AN ELIGIBILE ENTRY?
To be eligible for judging, you must create and submit a simulated, autonomous robot that successfully navigates a virtual maze from beginning to end (collectively, “entry”), and your entry must meet the following content and technical requirements:
Content and Technical Requirements
- You write the source code for your entry using Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008, AND either (1) one of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 series of products, or (2) Microsoft Visual Studio Express.
- Your entry must navigate a simulated, autonomous robot through a virtual maze. Specifically, the source code will need to direct the robot to travel into the entrance of a maze, on one side, and out of the exit of a maze, on the other side.
- The maze is populated with objects and traps. You should program the robot to avoid objects, and disable traps. Traps are designated by red lines on the floor of the maze, and are disabled by pressing a red buttons located at the end of these lines.
- The source code for your robot must be written such that your robot navigates the maze based solely on coded logic. If your robot is not exclusively and autonomously controlled by its coded logic (e.g., use of an Xbox 360 controller), then your robot will be disqualified; AND
- Your actual entry may be localized in any language; however, any supporting materials must be in English; AND
- Your submitted entry must include a Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 playback file (.PLB); AND
- Your submitted entry must include the compiled files created for the entry; AND
- If we request in order to verify compliance with the Official Rules and these Challenge Details, you must submit your entry directly to us in source code form. Failure to submit your entry as requested may result in disqualification.
HOW DO I SUBMIT MY ENTRY?
Step 1 - Register
If you wish to participate in this Challenge, you must first register. To register, navigate to [URL], register as instructed.
Step 2 – Validate System Requirements
- Verify that you have either one of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 series of products, or Visual Studio Express installed; and
- Verify that you have Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 installed.
Step 3 – Develop and Test Your Entry
Download the Amazed Challenge Kit, develop your entry and test it.
Step 4 – Submit Your Entry
Once you are happy with the performance of your entry, officially enter it into the Challenge by submitting a “Qualifying Run” as instructed. Once you launch the Qualifying Run, you which will launch the Referee Service.
The Referee Service will record data and visual information about your entry’s performance in the virtual maze environment. In addition, the Referee Service will determine key metrics including but not limited to successful completion of the virtual maze, interaction with obstacles and traps, and overall speed.
ENTRY LIMIT
We will only accept one (1) entry per person. In other words, limit one (1) Qualifying Run per person. We are not responsible for entries that we do not receive for any reason, or for entries that we receive, but that are not deciperhable for any reason.
We will automatically disqualify:
- Incomplete or illegible entries;
- Entries that we receive in excess of the entry limit described above.
HOW WILL WINNERS BE DETERMINED?
On or around the close of the Entry Period, the top three (3) participants with the highest scores, as based upon Referee Service Score, will be named potential winners. In the event of a tie, the person that submitted the entry first will be named the winner. If, after the first tie breaker, there is a still a tie, then the Challenge Judges will review all of the tied entries and determine a winner based on creativity (e.g., the entry that demonstrates the most unique approach to logic, implementation of sensors, etc.).
If we do not receive a sufficient number of entries meeting the entry requirements, we may, at our discretion, select fewer than the number of winner stated.
PRIZES
- First Place: CoroWare CoroBot, Approximate Retail Value (ARV), $3219.00
- Second Place: Boe-Bot Kit for Microsoft Robotics Studio, Approximate Retail Value (ARV), $209.95
- Third Place: Professional Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 Book, Approxiate Retail Value (ARV), $49.99
