I did watch the video...But unless I am blind the game used balls only, no other shapes.... If that is the game you need your robot to run, then the EZB will accomplish it no problem. Roborelm software is known for it's awesome video processing....

@Richard: the latest rules for that game added 2 shapes (cube and cylinder)...

the robot inside the arena will collect the objects and segregate and there is a bin beside the arena to put the objects collected...

I still believe EZB4 is your best bet.... I do not work for EZ Robot, but I think you should buy an EZB4... For $99 for a board you can't beat the features your getting with it... After what DJ has said, I still believe the EZB will work for you... You would have to pay way more for another platform to do what you want... EZB is the best bang for the buck...

@Richard: here is other video for the game... but that game has only ball... i still need to add shape recognition for Cube and Cylinder...

ez-robot and roborealm now have a link.

Here is an idea for you. If you find that the camera processing in EZ-Robot cant handle what you are looking to do, you could also incorporate RoboRealm into your project. Variables can be passed between RoboRealm and EZ-Robot. The auto positioning in EZ-Robot would make it easy to pick up the items. Additionally, you could add many more sensors like ir for example, that could be used to identify where objects are. When you find an object, you can use the camera to identify the object and make a decision on if you should pick up the object or not. While this is happening, you could be scanning for the next object using IR. Another idea is that you could build a robot that has 2 arms. One could be identifying the objects that need to be picked up while the other one is picking up the objects that have been identified.

EZ-Robot gives you so much flexibility that you would be able to build a robot that would be far better than the one in the videos. You have the ability to do many things at once while exchanging information between multiple functions within the application. I believe that what you are looking at doing would not be an issue for EZ-Robot. If it is, the addition of RoboRealm would definitely allow you to accomplish this task.

@d.cochran: thank you sir...

what i need to do now is to make a design for the prototype of my robot and list down the materials...

Good luck... I am sure you'll win the competition.... let us know how you get on with the project...

Hey, one more thought. With EZ-Robot you could have 5 robots running around communicating with each other doing this challenge. They could pass variables to each other and know where each other is. a compass inside the robot would allow them to know directions. See what you did, you got me thinking about how to win the contest. The cost of doing this could be pretty high, but it shows you how powerful the platform is.
