I like it! My spiel: In general, when asked about such contests, we try to encourage robotics contests to have open-ended goals, perhaps more like a talent show, because it allows additional creativity. I would say the MIT Mobile Robotics Lab could be expected to show up at such an event...our current loosely defined long range goals are to have some sort of space qualified version of "Attila", our six-legger, in the works by then, along with some idea of a mission date. "Attila's" will also be on the market, certainly be then, for about $50k, as an AI research tool. Anyone interested in more details about that can contact me directly. On a different note, is anyone out there participating in the AUVS contest in July (autonomous flying robots)? Cheers! -Olaf bleck@ai.mit.edu
