Well this is for November now but it seems like a waste to open a new thread. I attended a large (>380 robots) robotics competition and finished 2nd in my category. It has been a dream of mine for years to go there. Talking about "real" autonomous robots here, nothing remote controlled, mind you. Most people who take part in these competitions usually have a whole team, sponsorships, belong to robotics clubs or represent their university. I figured I'd have none of that, just do everything myself, enjoy the process and see what comes of it. Only one other robot managed to complete the given task without mistakes and unfortunately it was a bit quicker than mine. So this is how I have been spending my free evenings and weekends lately. This is easily among the top things I've ever accomplished so I'm pretty happy with myself. At work I've been filling the technical lead sort of role for a large project this year and received a promotion for my success with it. I'm proud of that too but well ... it's a bit less exciting than a robot that actually does what it's supposed to do.
