Call for Participation

Robotstadium 2011, on-line Robocup SPL simulation

http://www.robotstadium.org/

Robotstadium is an on-line programming contest based on the rules of
the RoboCup Standard Platform League (SPL). Robotstadium uses a
realistic simulation of the Nao robot and of the SPL soccer field.
Each competitor must program a team of Nao robots using Java, C/C++,
or Python. The teams compete in on-line matches that take place on the
Robotstadium server.
The Robotstadium contest is organized by Cyberbotics; it is free and
open to everyone.

CHALLENGE
---------
This competition offers interesting challenges in computer vision,
humanoid locomotion and collective intelligence. It is a great
opportunity to program humanoid robots without the need for actual
robot hardware. By entering this competition you will demonstrate not
only your programming skills, but also, your talent to design a
successful strategy.

The Robotstadium contest has just started and it can be joined at any
time. Teams can download the latest Webots version (6.3.4) and start
programming today. The 2011 finals will take place on-line during the
week from July 4 (Monday) to July 8 (Friday).

HOW TO ENTER
------------
