imagine cup: robot simulation competition

For any coders that's interested:

It appears the competition is designed to explicitly increase use of microsoft products . . . but the prizes are pretty big.

During Round 1, you must create and submit a simulated, autonomous robot that can successfully push an opponent outside of a simulated sumo ring. You will submit your robot via a single Qualifying Run as more fully described below.   Please note that each Qualifying Run will consist of three (3) separate executions of the source code for the robot portion of your entry.

That seems cool. To bad I don't program robots that much yet. I do computer programming. Maybe in a few years I will try and compete in that.
