Yipie, another CAN contest. Robots love cans. They like to hunt them down, grab'm, shoot them, but I have yet to find a bot that wants to drink them.

The contest consists of a white foam arena as given in the following dimensions:

The robot starts in any of 3 colered are'a and has to find one of the 3 colored cans randomly positioned on the arena and move it to the area with the same color.

Here is a link to Martin's blog with more details on the Color CAN contest.

Each contestant gets 3 trials, counting the best performance. Each contestant can reset its bot up to 3 times. Each bot gets 5 minutes to try to find the can and move it to the designated area.
