Challenge #2 Winners!

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

NXTasy.org challenge #2 is over, and it is time to declare the winners. Unfortunately, we had very little participation this time - only 2 contributions in the NXT-G category and 4 in the ‘other languages’ category. I pledge everyone to answer my short survey here so I decide about future challenges.

In the NXT-G category only Larry Menor completed the task fully, with an average outcome of 54 seconds. Larry - you win 60$ for purchasing in mindsensors.com!
In second place we have Alex Dimitrov. Alex has almost made it to first place, with average time of only 28 seconds, but his robot fails to put back the ball (well, he says it does work when he doesn’t video it…). I’ve given him some extra days to prove his claim - but he didn’t reply.. For the sake of good will - you earned the second place, and win $35 coupon at mindsensors.com.

The ‘other languages’ category had some more participants. Here the second place goes to Michail Zampetakis whose NBC programmed robot score 31 seconds on average. Michail - you won $35 courtesy of mindsensors.com. I want to thank the ‘not-winning’ users (cheer up guys - at the end, it’s all about having fun!) Laurens Valk (RobotC, 33sec and VERY close to 2nd place..) and Victor Potenciano (NXC, 85sec).

Finally - Hip-Hip-Hurry to Allen McArthur for a NXC programmed robot which complete the task with an average of 16sec! Great job, Allen! You earned your first prize 60$ reward big times!

I’m preparing a dedicated page with photos, videos and codes of all participants. Hopefully this will come up soon, but patience is a blessing…
