2001-2004 and again 2017-2019 I’ve participated in a yearly contest called RoboCup at DTU
It started when a friend and I spectated a previous contest, where we said to each other: “How hard can this be?!?”.
I guess we more or less followed the same “track of realization” as most teams participating at RoboCup. One of our “opponents” expressed it something like this:
Time to start | Goal |
---|---|
1 year | We will take all points, faster than everybody else. |
6 months | We will take all points. |
2 months | We will take most points. |
1 months | We will take the easy route. |
1 week | If we can complete half the easy route, it’s a success. |
1 day | If we can get through the first port, it’s a success. |
1 hour | If we can just get it to drive… |
When theory meets real life, quite a few things gets complicated.
