[Noisebridge-discuss] Sparkfun Antimov Competition - October 16, 2010

[Michael Shiloh]

Do you love robots? Do you love destruction? Are you tired of the same 
old robot competitions? We've got just the thing for you: the SparkFun 
Antimov competition! Based on Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, the 
Antimov competition challenges you to design a robot which breaks the 
laws of robotics (well, except for hurting humans of course). A robot is 
traditionally designed to perform a complex task as efficiently as 
possible. Building a competent and efficient robot that completes its 
task unharmed is SO last year.

We want you to build a robot that completes a trivial task in the most 
inefficient and laborious way possible. Oh yeah, it needs to destroy 
itself doing so. Intrigued? We thought so! We ultimately wanted a 
competition that focuses less on engineering abilities and more on 
creative ingenuity.
