That's what it seems. The awards don't seem as different from each other than in past competitions...
1) ALL TERRAIN EXPLORER: Can your Explorer Bot shift modes to tackle all types of tough terrain? Can it move just as well on snow and ice as it can through desert sands or a thick vegetation? Show us how flexible your bot can be!
2) THE SPECIALIST: We want to see an Explorer Bot that is the best in its field at exploring its specialty. What will your specialist bot focus on?
3) THE STEALTH BOT: Some Explorers need to do their observations and explorations without being detected. How quietly can your bot move? How can it camouflage itself to its environment? How does it collect its data?
4) DATA MINE: How does your Explorer Bot collect data about its explorations and share them with the world?
I wouldn't enter the first category because I'm thinking someone with tread will dominate (see
). The stealth bot sounds like the most fun to me.
Jayko, are you entering?
