Bot Wars

During the Bot Wars challenge each participating team is invited to build a remotely controlled robot (starter kits were offered to NUIG students in the form of remote control cars to build the robot around), rules apply to the weapons a robot may use and its general design, robots will face off in NUIG's own arena (details regarding round times and the arena will be given prior to the event). A fee of 30euro applies to teams from colleges other than NUIG (as NUIG's Bot Wars is funding its members to participate and also organize the event). For more information see www.compsoc.ie/wiki/botwars .

DBC Challenge

The Design Build Code challenge is a competition where teams of up to 3 students must design, build and program a Lego NXT robot (supplied on the day) to solve a posed problem, said problem will not be announced until the morning of the event, however extensive help in the form of tutorials relating to the problem will be given on www.compsoc.ie/wiki/botwars and starter code supplied on the day . Again a fee of 30euro applies per team entered. Each team must bring a laptop with certain software installed as defined on the wiki page.
