Google的NXT樂高機器人活動--Google Developers SXSW LEGO Rumble

看到標題SXSW，探奇馬上想到以前介紹過這個活動，探奇部落格右邊側欄的搜尋還真有用，

馬上找到一年前的探奇舊文章：SXSW(South by Southwest)美國南方音樂節與NXT樂高機器人

這些Googlers在3/10及3/11舉辦一連串的活動，包含3/11一整天（10am - 8pm） 的

Google Developers LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Hackathon

（請參考Google SXSW-- Developers網頁說明）

還請瞭解Google的讀友補充說明（有Googler出面解釋更好！）

轉貼網頁上的規則如下：

Schedule

• 10am LEGO® kit distribution begins
• 10am - 8pm Hardcore hacking
• 7:30pm 30-minute warning, race order is assigned
• 8pm Let the rumble begin!

The Rules

• Each team gets 1 LEGO® MINDSTORMS® kit. There will be additional LEGO® pieces available.
• Each team must build with the pieces given at the event — thus no outside parts, modifications, or LEGOs will be allowed! No exceptions!
• You'll need to bring your own laptop for hacking, but we'll have plenty of power and WiFi.
• You can use any programming environment you prefer.
• Teams should bring their own Android device.
• Teams must use an Android device and the MINDdroid control app to remote control the robots throughout the obstacle course.
• Teams must use the MINDdroid software.
• The goal is for teams to get their robots from start to finish of the obstacle course in the shortest amount of time.
• No more than 30 teams can enter.
• No more than 4 people per team.
• Bots can not be larger than a shoebox.
• Bots must stay within the designated course.
• Robots must be race ready by the scheduled race time.

#Winning

• The bot that completes the obstacle course in the shortest amount of time wins.
• There will also be a creativity category (hardware and/or software). Yes, this will be totally based on judges decision, with input from the crowd. Bribing the judges will not work.
• External interference may cause the race to be restarted.
• Judges have the final say. Arguing will result in disqualification! Don't do it!

還不太清楚實況，好像是用Android的MINDdroid App遙控NXT樂高機器人通過障礙物。

Google還全程實況轉播，在Youtube頻道放送，（影片長度1:37:01）比賽大概在25:30開始

各位高手是不是有興趣參加(舉辦)這種比賽呢？
