Well and here YouTube… We after all not remove a film, and we hold competitions. It will be possible to send video also on, I will lay out it not through youtube, and through a site player. How to you such idea?
Sergey, e-mail me russian text (point mouse on my nickname and click “contact”). Cannot promise anything as I’m offshore on a job now, but possibly I could help with translation.

Sergey, po6li mne russkiy text (navedi mi6ku na moy nikneym i klikni “contact”). Ne mogu ni4ego obe6at, tak kak ya sey4as na rabote v more, no vozmojno smogu pomo4 s perevodom.
Question: Can I use the robot I have already built? My LineIronBot were built months ago, but I never put him on real track. I would imagine I’ll have to spend some time debugging.
Вопрос: Могу ли я заявить на соревнования робота, которого уже построил. Мой LineIronBot был построен несколько месяцев назад, но так и не видел настоящего трека Походу придется его отлаживать сорее всего.
[Robotics - our future…] website invites participants for “Open OFFLINE robotics competition. Line following”. Everyone’s welcome. There is no age limit.
Conditions: You have to design, build and debug your robot within period from 18.09.2010 to 31.10.2010. Dates might vary.
You have to (DOWNLOAD TRACK), print it, film your robot completing it, upload video to YouTube and send the link along with few words about your robot to [email protected] Then hope and pray to be a winner! You can always invite your friends to participate too.
Track: Track color - white Line color - black Line width - 20mm Whole track is 12 A4 sheets. You are allowed to cut or overlay no more than 5mm from each side of each sheet (if your printer cannot print borderless). Violation of this rule leads to dismissal of participant’s result.
Robot: Maximum size - 20x20cm (width/lenght) Operation - autonomous
There is no limit for attempts count, best time will be taken into account. Team with best time will be declared as the winner.
Well I think that who will remove video, will take advantage of a stop watch, and it would be still quite good that it held it in front of the chamber. And in general, I do not consider good the fraud fact. It well in such competitions simply ugly)
To collect the robot it is necessary a couple of transistors and motors))
I think this is a great idea. A robotics competition with fairly strict rules but without all the expense of travelling.
Unfortunately, cheating may be a bit too easy… But I believe this is really just an engineering problem. Maybe the organizers could send some kind of a standard time and size reference to be included in the video. This system can also be gamed, but the point is to make cheating harder than playing by the rules.
Also, you need to find someone who speaks English a little bit better.
