Mini Darpa Challenge

[irishninja]

This mostly applies for people in the NYC area, but I'm sure it will give others ideas. In the recent upswing of people who own VEX kits, and after PBS's NOVA show on the Grand Challenge I had an idea. It would be really fun to have a mini darpa challenge with vex/miniature robots. In NY, probably in Riverside or Central Park or something, but I'm sure it could happen around the country. No standarized courses, different for each one. I'd be willing to host the one in NY, although I'd want to enter. The course would be setup on that day with rails on either side so you don't need to rely on gps. It would be much much much smaller, and there would be height and weight restrictions, although they would be loose. However, I need to know how many people would be interested in doing osmething like this, so if you are in the NY area, please respond to this with questions, concerns, or just sure that would be great where do i sign up? For there to a be a prize there wouuld have to be an entrance fee, something like 5 dollars, and winner takes all, or we can donate it to FIRST, or something of that sort. ANyway, please post. I'll come out with some rules later, if enough people want to do it.
