OK & Great!

I think the sort of Game/contest IBM created is exactly the sort of thing that let's us wrap our heads around the both the simplicity and the complexity of autonomously operating a non-trivial machine in an unpredicatable environment.

Along those lines... running a little league/tournament would be an excellent way to prep for the autonomous software part of an FRC/VRC/VRCC/FTC season.

I can't volunteer to create a competition league (no free time); but a handful of students could easily get one up and running in short order; and could then recruit entrants from several STEM robotics programs.
