WPI announced a new college level robotic competition called RICC (Robotics Innovation Competition and Conference).
"[RICC] is designed to attract those students that were raised on FIRST, BEST, and BotBall and are looking for a new and different robotics challenge in college.
Unlike many robotics competitions, the RICC is meant to be a well-rounded event: not only must students design and build a robot, there will be a business and marketing component of the final deliverable."
Sounds pretty interesting, and definitely one of the easier-to-enter college level competitions, compared to the DARPA Grand Challenge and other large-scale competitions.
