Istrobot

tracker, micromouse, free style

Istrobot is Slovak contest, which takes place annually in spring (March/April) in Bratislava. There are three categories: tracker (line following with various traps like tunnel, interruption or brick obstacle), micromouse (navigation in large maze) and finally free style for various robot demonstrations. The nearest contest will be on 26th April 2014.


Istrobot 2004 — stopár, myš v bludisku, voľná jazda
28.dubna se v Bratislavě konal čtvrtý ročník soutěže Istrobot. Soutěžilo se jako minulý rok ve třech kategoriích: sledování čáry, hledání cesty v bludišti a ve volné jízdě. V prvních dvou kategoriích se nic nezměnilo: sledování čáry opět komplikovala cihla, přerušení a tunel. Bludiště pak měla sledovat kamera shora, ale automatické měření se bohužel nepodařilo rozchodit. Pro ty, co na Istrobotu již byli loni, byla tedy opět nejzajímavější volná jízda.

Istrobot 2003 — the 3rd annual robotic contest in Slovakia
On the 23rd of April contestants in stopař (line following), bludiště (micromouse) and volná jízda (free, unrestricted) categories met in Bratislava, Slovakia. The task of the line follower was to follow a black line on a white background and to cope with several traps (line discontinuation, tunnel, brick) along the way. The competing mice were required to find the fastest path through a maze of 16x16 squares 18cm each. The free category covered what was left allowing virtually any robot to compete. So our two robots we are building for the Eurobot 2003 Dana and Daisy competed here.
