We currently are in Dresden (Germany) for the Eurobot 2014 competition.
This year the name of the competition is “Prehistobot”, every team can use a maximum of two robots for the matches. The robots must perform a set of actions in order to score as much points as possible: “Hunt mammoths”, “Draw a fresco”, “Pick some fruits”, “Fire conquest”, “Capture mammoths”.
