Robot Leagues And Competitions

Skip to comments   Jump to end

So wouldn't it be neat to have leagues and competitions? I want to hear your opinions. Tell me if there's any kind of interesting competitions lots of members of all ages could compete in. So far here is a short list of the standard ones. Not to say that any of these will happen but let's talk.:)

  1. Sumo Robot competition

  2. Maze solving time trials

  3. Firefighting ( find a flame , put it out)

  4. Dance off competitions

  5. Indoor Obstacles course / Rescue League -Search and Rescue - find a object or checkpoint then go back to start while navigating over uneven terrain and around objects.

tell us your suggestions or ideas , express your excitement

I think we could get creative and have real-world robot competitions, instead of the boring old sumo garbage. EZ-Robot has changed robotics, let's change the competition styles as well! Maybe robots that perform real-world tasks.

Perhaps there can be categories for Friendliest Buddy Robot, Butler Robot, Disability Assistance Robots, and Educational Robots, etc...

Ok, Awesome Kick is up a knotch! So totally mix it up and have new kinds of categories. I'm good with that.

so possible real categories , the best of: -friendliest buddy robot -Butler robot

  • Disability assistance
  • Educational assistance And more....

Everyone weight in. What other categories would be awesome and how can we define the criteria ? Be creative yet realistic.

More categories :

Security Remote presence Pet care (feeder, pan cleaner, playmate, etc) Lawn/home care (mowers, plows, vacuums, etc)

We could have the contest focus on basic functionality, ez-robot territory, and then contests.

AKA Judging functionality based on: 1.what its built to do 2.how it does its job 3.quality of which it does its job

Then, judging ez-robot territory: 1.Navigation-speed, quality, 2.Intelligence-Telepresence, (what else?)

Then contests: 1.fighting 2.races 3.task completion 4.basic question answering
