The contest seems interesting, however I'= m afraid I don't have much time to get involved into it. Hopefully that wil= l change but it seems rather unlikely. Best luck to all the contestants, and have a lot of fun!

A contest round is now run every day at 8pm (Central European Time) with nice automatic movies created for each round. I would recommend you to have a look at the very last match between the two top competitors, antoinea101 and Freshmen: http://www.cyberbotics.com/ratslife/= movies/08.02.18_antoinea101_vs_Freshmen_s.avi to see the level of intelligence reached so far by our best little rat brains... ;)=20 We have currently 9 active competitors out of 50 registered users. As you can see on the hall of fame, the contest is currently dominated by Swiss (5), Romanian (2), Hungarian (1) and Turkish (1) competitors. But where are the French, American, British, Iranian, German, Indian, etc? Will they let the Swiss people win the fame and the prizes (an e-puck robot and a Webots pack) that easily? Feel free to spread the word about the contest and don't be afraid to step in. The level of intelligence of our rat brains and the fame of the winners will increase with the number of competitors! A PDF sheet with our call for contest is available here: http://www.ratslife.org/call.p= df (feel free to use it to help us promoting the contest). In previous editions of similar contests we had entire classrooms participating (from Z=FCrich, Edinburgh, Brazil). If you know professors who might be interested to have their programming or robotics class participating in the contest, let them know. The final mark doesn't necessarily need to be based on the hall of fame ranking ;)=20 Thank you for your support! -Olivier --=20 Olivier Michel Cyberbotics Ltd. - http://www.cyberbotics.com =20=20=20=20=20=20 =20=20=20=20 =20=20=20=20 _________________________________________________________________ Shed those extra pounds with MSN and The Biggest Loser! http://biggestloser.msn.com/ --_5423d466-fc87-45ae-8020-6e0047839776_ Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html> <head> <style> .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } </style> </head> <body class=3D'hmmessage'> Hi Olivier,<br><br>I'm also still reading this list.
