  • www.teambots.org 2/19/00 Who points to it? 18 - TeamBots is a Java-based collection of application programs and Java packages formultiagent mobile robotics research. The TeamBots distribution is a full source-coderelease. The simulation environment is 100% Java. Execution on mobile robots sometimesrequires low-level libraries in C, but Java is used for all higher-level functions. At present,TeamBots will run on the Nomadic Technologies' Nomad 150 robot and (very soon) onPersonal Robotics' Cye robot.

  • First robotics competition 3/29/00 Who points to it? 15 - The FIRST Robotics Competition is a national engineering contest which immerses high school students in the exciting world of engineering. Teaming up with engineers from businesses and universities,students get a hands-on, inside look at the engineering profession. In six intense weeks, students and engineers work together to brainstorm, design, construct and test their "champion robot". With onlysix weeks, all jobs are critical path. The teams then compete in a spirited, no-holds-barred tournament complete with referees, cheerleaders and time clocks.

  • Co-Evolutionary Robot Soccer 5/7/00 Who points to it? 16 - University of Aarhus offers RoboCup Jr -- a web-based Co-Evolutionary Robot Soccer game. You can evolve your own (Khepera simulated) robots to play thesoccer game by manipulating evolution parameters. When you evolve agood robot, you can upload it to our server, which will play 50.000matchesevery night among the incoming players, and then generate the newhighscore list every morning. At the end of the competition, the bestones on the highscore list will win the prizes (different robots).
