MechMania is open to all skill levels of coding. we provide the starter code in Java and Python, and you can focus on creating an awesome strategy to beat the other teams' bots in our game. No experience in artificial intelligence or machine learning is required to participate. In many years past, several freshmen have won the top three positions!
Oh, and did we mention there are prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place? (To be eligible for prizes, you must fill out this form). If you want to find out about the game, you'll just have to see us on Friday, September 30th in room 1320 at the Digital Computer Lab.
