Hi Philippe,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your kind message. It's a pitty you won't be able to
participate, but I can understand it.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

  </style>Hi Olivier,<br>
  <br>
I'm also still reading this list. The contest seems interesting,
however I'm afraid I don't have much time to get involved into it.
Hopefully that will change but it seems rather unlikely.<br>
Best luck to all the contestants, and have a lot of fun!<br>
  <br>
Regards,<br>

    <div id="EC_ygrp-text"> Hi all,
    <br>
    <br>
I am not sure there are still many people reading messages on this list
(as it is not too much used any more), but I wanted to keep the last
readers posted about our new Rat's Life contest:
    <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="EC_moz-txt-link-freetext"
 href="http://www.ratslife.org" target="_blank">http://www.ratslife<wbr>.org</a>
and possibly convince them to join us in this
promising new event...<br>
    <br>
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: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
 class="EC_moz-txt-link-freetext"
 href="http://www.cyberbotics.com/ratslife/movies/08.02.18_antoinea101_vs_Freshmen_s.avi"
 target="_blank">http://www.cyberbot<wbr>ics.com/ratslife<wbr>/movies/08.<wbr>02.18_antoinea10<wbr>1_vs_Freshmen_<wbr>s.avi</a>
to see the level of intelligence reached so far by our best little rat
brains... <span class="EC_moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;) </span></span>
    <br>
    <br>
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?
    <br>
    <br>
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: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
 class="EC_moz-txt-link-freetext"
 href="http://www.ratslife.org/call.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.ratslife<wbr>.org/call.<wbr>pdf</a>
(feel free to use it to help us promoting the contest).
    <br>
    <br>
In previous editions of similar contests we had entire classrooms
participating (from Zürich, 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 <span
 class="EC_moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;) </span></span>
    <br>
    <br>
Thank you for your support!
