Robotour 2017 - Workshop — team presentations + PAIR'17 conference
On Sunday there is always a workshop of all teams after the contest. They share
their findings what worked and what did not, what is in reality inside of their
smart robots, how they liked the new rules etc. This year we were recording so
although it is not the top quality you can see and hear what was presented.

Results — Cogito team is the winner of Robotour 2017!
Twelfth year of Robotour contest introduced new „delivery” rules, which we
had to tweak a little bit on the way to Žilina and also during the competition.
After that the satisfaction was both on the side of teams as well as
organizers. And who managed the latest task the best? The team which tested
the most … Czech/Swiss team Cogito! (Update 20/9:
added new links and videos)

Rules
The rules for Robotour 2017 are slightly different compared to the last
years. In particular the concurrent start of all robots at given time will no
longer be enforced. Exact start location will change to boundary of
autonomous area, and it will be up to the teams where and when exactly they
will start. The task will be to go to loading zone, where beer barrel will be
manually or automatically loaded, and then deliver the payload to desired
destination (unloading zone). After unloading (again manual or automatic) the
robot has to leave the autonomous zone.
For each sub-task team gets one point, and extra bonus is for autonomous
load/unload. In total 5 points per run/delivery request.
