The Wintrisstech Roomba Robot contest application deadline has been
extended to June 1, 2008. Each entrant gets a free Roomba Create and a
free Sun Microsystems SPOT controller. Other Wowee prizes will also be
awarded. The contest is at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego during the San
Diego County Fair, June 21 and 22. The contest is limited to 21 entrants. Two
events will be held...the Urban challenge (a maze) and the Gold Rush Challenge
(free-for-all run to the finish line through obstacles). All robots must be fully
autonomous... no radio control. Robot platforms other than the Roomba are
acceptable.
