Competitions robots!

Been waiting for something like this to be done. So, Microsoft is opening (not the first) competition of emulated (not real) robots in the world!

Anyone can program a robot - it is not necessary to make it from the materials at hand, only a program is needed - and put it up for competition in various fields. All the necessary software (like, apart from the studio) can be downloaded there.

It's not just interesting, it's fun! :)

Competitions are held in six disciplines:
1. the passage of the maze (it looks like the robot sees a three-dimensional image)
2. studies of new lands (Martian;)
3. driving around the city
4. robot rescue
5. sumo
6. tournament (it is not clear which one)
