To give u more idea about my competition, you can download the rules and see its video from the following site http://www.robofest.org.my/robocon2006/

I don't know if u've ever heard of ABU robocon contest before. It's an international competition for the member countries Asia Broadcasting Union (ABU). It includes Japan, China, Korea, Egypt, Vietnam, Malaysia....etc

Each year a country hosts the event but before the international event there's a local competition in each country to choose the team representing your country. The competition includes a manual robot and several automatic robots and there's a specific task to do. Ur limited within a specific weight and a specific dimension.

The following link http://gymkhana.iitb.ac.in/~umic/vid...robocon2k5.wmv
gives u an idea how the international competition was fierce last year. U'll see the fastest extensions u have ever seen in ur life.

By the way I forgot to introduce myself. I am a student at the Electronics and Communications department, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University. Glad to meet u all
Holy smokes! Now THAT looks like fun!

I like the combination of autonomous-only and human-operated robots running at the same time. (It seems like we could do something similar with Vex, but on a smaller scale.)
