Butiá activities in the sumo.uy 2011 robotic event

Last 16 and 17 of september was the robotic event [link] called sumo.uy organized by the public uruguayan faculty of engineering, in this event there was two challenges for the butiá robot [link], were schools from Uruguay come to participate with the robots we gave them last year, showing the great work that they were doing. One of this challenges was the "basic butia" [link] wich consist in the implementation of a line follower robot wich must be able to evade obstacles. The arena was of 3.20 x 3 meters size [link]. Most of the participating schools used the butia plugin for turtleArt [link] they participate with XO 1.0 and 1.5, showing how to transform an XO in a mobile robot. It also was an advance challenge wich it consist in clasification of products, this problem was modeled with a sumo dojho wich was the "clasification area" in wich the robot must not fall and small cubes of colors, the green cubes represent good product and the red cubes the one with failures, so the robot must try to carry outside de clasification area the bad products and keep inside the good ones. This challenge was resolved by the students using the followMe plugin [link] showing that the XO computer has usefull sensors for robotics like the webcam. The time was counted by a stopWatch that it was made using TurtleArt also ;) The day after we give some workshops for childrens who want to learn robot programming using turtleArt, they came with their XO computers to work and transform it in a mobil robot. The butiá proyect is opensource and it could be downloaded from our git in sourceforge [link] Also don't forget to join our facebook site [link] and mailing list [link] we are looking forward to find software and hardware developers that want to participate in this proyect.
