This post is intended to describe the French Robot Cup 2009.

Parki is a robot created to participate in the 2009 Eurobot contest and the 2009 French Robot Cup. The rules for this contest might be found here or here (direct link) or here in french. This event is organized by “Planète-Sciences”. You can have more info about this Robotics Cup here and about eurobot here. And finally one more link about our team Kelebulc.

The French Robot Cup is now over. Three (or four) days of full continuous hacking inside a tent with more than 250 french teams leave you a nice souvenir. Lots of tests, pistachio, pasta, beer and fun were always present.

And the winner is...

…Parki!! By the Kelebulc Team…

That’s how Saturday ended.

On Friday morning we finished one of the 6 strategies of the robot. We knew, that the other teams were also having problems, just like us. But we were not sure their robots were working better or worse than PARKI, so I fixed one of the other 5 strategies on Friday night. We were ready for a death match… Not really, but we were 2/6 ready, though.

Hello there!

Welcome to my blog, this is the place where I’ll talk just about everything that catches up my mind.

First off, I’ll introduce myself: I’m an engineering student at “INSA de Lyon” interested in a lot of (sometimes too many) fields : programming (C/C++, Java, Python, SQL, Qt, openCV, SFML, SDL, PHP,…), robotics, electronics, physics, maths, astronomy, music, languages, swimming and life in general. I’m blogging mostly about these, but other subjects might appear randomly.

I like pasta, however, pizza gets me bored lately… caused by eating it in a daily basis.

I’m currently working in a robotics project with a team from INSA Lyon named “Kelebulc”, we have worked hard for several months to achieve a competent robot that will participate in the French Robotics Cup from the 20 till the 24 may 2009. More info in the official website (in french). I’ll post about our robot soon.
