The Ohio State 2004 Spring Robot Competition Final: The final four teams face off on the course to complete three objectives, each with a point value assigned by an IR signal. One of the four teams programmed their robot to disregard the IR sensor and only go for the object that they were most successful at completing. It has an epic ending because Team A, the main focus of the video, was in last robot to successfully complete a task. They obviously pulled off the win in the end.
My roommate ended up winning out of 50 robots total. And his is the one the camera is focused on in the lower left hand corner. There was an epic moment when another robot crashed into his and he appeared to be jammed and it looked like he was going to get fourth place as he did not make any deposits...but then...after a few moments, his code had a time out function on it to force the lift down and in doing so, crushed the other robot.

Yeah the project was a quarter long process of creating the robot with a budget and developing the code for it to run autonomously. There were 3 objects in a factory that needed to be moved based on their priority--which was signaled to the robot through an IR sensor. Once the IR was read, the robot then acted as the programmers desired and went for whatever objects they felt they could easily obtain and get the most points for.
